Will Anderson Jr, Sheldon Rankins & Azeez Al-Shaair | Houston Texans Defense

Azeez Al-Shaair, Will Anderson Jr and Sheldon Rankins, fresh out of a joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders, sit down with Chris and talk all things Houston Texans. Azeez details his journey from homelessness to NFL star. He went to the Super Bowl as a rookie with the San Francisco 49ers but was listed as inactive for the game. That decision shaped his mentality as an NFLer, promising to show coaches that they will never feel that they can take him off the field again. Will Anderson and Sheldon Rankins then join Chris to go in-depth on d-line talk. Chris gives Will his flowers as a pass rusher (and Sheldon his flowers for his help in Will's development), and they discuss the Texans' defensive line mindset and their 'show up and fight' mentality.
