#102 Overall, Trai Turner, Free Agent, Right Guard, #15 Offensive Lineman
2023 Pre-Season Rank #96, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #95, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #95, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #101. Peak Period: 2015-19
Last year, Trai Turner signed with the New Orleans Saints, but a torn quad kept him from playing a down in the Bayou. This year, Turner begins the season looking for an opportunity, and unless he finds one, he will have to hang his helmet on his five straight Pro Bowls with the Carolina Panthers (2015-19).
At only 30, a team might take a chance on Turner.
#54 Overall, Duane Brown, Free Agent, Offensive Tackle, #8 Offensive Lineman
2023 Pre-Season Rank #86, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #90, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #95, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #122. Peak Period: 2011-15
Brown enters the season as a Free Agent, and if his career has come to an end, has he done enough to become a Hall of Fame inductee?
He likely hasn’t, bit leaves behind 220 Games Played (218 Starts) and should be acknowledged in any Houston Texans Hall of Fame. He could still find work in 2024 as a veteran presence on a contending team.
#91 Overall, Jarvis Landry, Free Agent, #15 Wide Receiver
2023 Pre-Season Rank #80, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #78, 2021 Pre-Season-Rank #72, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #71. Peak Period: 2015-19
Landry has been named to the Pro Bowl five years straight (2015-19) but in that half-decade, the Wide Receiver was never considered the top shelf of wideouts. Regardless of that fact, Landry led the NFL in Receptions in 2017 (112), but the window of where he might be able to enter the top level may have passed him by. Landry did not have a good year in 2022 with the Saints, and is currently seeking work, which he was unable to obtain in 2023. This may be the body of work we have to use for the Hall, and the stats are overall good, but not good enough.
#8 Overall, Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins, #1 Wide Receiver
2022 Pre-Season Rank #28, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #35, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #53. Peak Period: 2019-23
New team. Same Hill. Tyreek Hill's former squad (kansas City) might have won a Super Bowl without him, but Hill remained an elite Wide Receiver, and last year's 1,710 Yards was a career-best. Now in striking distance of 10,000 Yards, he has gone to the Pro Bowl in all seven of his seasons, and is a four-time All-Pro (though one was a Returner). Hill is over the MPA for AV/G, and has matched First Team All-Pros. While his off-field issues can cause concern, that is washed away by one of the most dynamic performers of our day. If he can keep the controversy at the door, he will get into the Hall of Fame.
