CBS Sports' Pete Prisco is already among the hated in the land of the Houston Texans for his outlandish takes on the roster.
His recent comments won't do him any favors entering the 2026 season.
The Texans have made it to the divisional round three times since the hiring of DeMeco Ryans. They've won at least 10 games each season, including tying a franchise record-best 12 last year. They've featured a top 10 defense and a 1,000-yard playmaker every year with Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud under center.
Not to mention, the Texans constantly hit on draft picks, including recent names like cornerback Kamari Lassiter, wide receiver Jayden Higgins and safety Calen Bullock.
So, where does Prisco have the Texans ranked after a promising draft that featured two major additions to the trenches?
Fifteenth.
No, not fifth, but fifteenth. And among AFC rosters, Prisco has Houston seventh among AFC teams, barely squeaking in as a playoff roster.
"They had a heck of a draft," Prisco said on CBS Tuesday morning. "We know what this team is all about this year. It's C.J. Stroud."
When asked if Stroud's play in Year 3 had anything to do with the rankings, Prisco didn't hold back.
