🚨 Offensive line grades are in — and Texans fans, you might want to buckle up.

The Houston Texans offensive line just got slapped with a C grade, and trust us… that might be generous. With new additions like Ed Ingram, Laken Tomlinson, Cam Robinson, and Trent Brown, this group could either hold the line… or fall apart fast.

👀 Will Trent Brown stay healthy AND motivated enough to compete for the right tackle spot? Are we staring at a potential training camp battle of Trent vs Blake Fisher that decides the fate of this offensive line?

We break it ALL down — the depth, the chemistry, and most importantly, the impact this unit will have on the most important player on the team: CJ Stroud.

🧠 When Stroud had a clean pocket in 2024, he was:

🔥 106.8 passer rating

🎯 68.4% completion rate

🚀 8.9 Yards Per Attempt

📊 Top‑3 success rate (49%)

Translation? Protect Stroud, win games.

Plus, we kick off the Locked On Network's Top 100 Players List — does it actually matter now? Or will the regular season shake up the rankings?
