After the Houston Texans’ 2022 season, they hold the second-overall pick in the NFL Draft.
Barring a surprising decision from the front office, many believe that the Texans will be selecting a quarterback with this pick.
Ahead of their decision, the team has brought in Bryce Young, just one day removed from his visit with the Carolina Panthers, by Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.
#Bama QB Bryce Young is on his Top 30 visit with the #Texans today, source said, one day after doing the same with the #panthers. Along with CJ Stroud, Young is a potential top overall selection.

Young and CJ Stroud have been identified as the draft’s top two quarterbacks, and either one of them could go first overall to the Panthers.
Many fans reacted to Rapoport’s update, each giving their perspective on the situation at hand.
“We just wanted to tell you that we really wanted to draft you but Lovie screwed us winning that last game so now you’re going to Carolina.”

The Texans were in line to have the first pick, but by winning their final game of the season, they ended up with the second pick.
As this fan points out, the Panthers have expressed interest in Young, and this meeting could be for naught.

Many Panthers fans have posted a similar response to this fan, who wants the Texans to stay away from Young.
While Young won the Heisman Trophy in 2021, many have pointed to his size as an area of concern, wondering how that will impact his NFL stock.

One fan even poked fun at Young’s height, liking him to Kevin Hart.
Measuring in at 5-foot-10, Young will be one of the shortest quarterbacks in NFL history.
How will his game translate to the NFL, and what team will end up drafting him?
With the draft pending, teams are running out of time to make that decision.
