Houston Texans rookie CB Kamari Lassiter learning from veterans

As a rookie, Houston Texans cornerback Kamari Lassiter has a lot to learn, but that’s exactly what he’s doing in his first training camp.

Lassiter has the privilege of facing top-tier competition with a group of receivers and a quarterback in C.J. Stroud who is emerging as one of the NFL’s best signal-caller. Lassiter recognizes that and isn’t taking it for granted.

“I learn a lot every day,” Lassiter said. “Every day I learn something new from them. I try to absorb their knowledge. Every day after practice I listen to them play, talk about our reps, what I can do better, what they’re thinking in the middle of a rep. So, I mean, just going against guys, veterans like that, guys that are really good at what they do, it really makes me better every day.”

Lassiter already comes to the Texans with plenty of physical gifts and some high-intensity play experience like he did at the University of Georgia. But now he’s putting that into practice and can still learn from some of the best players in the world.

It’s all part of Lassiter’s journey to becoming one of the best young cornerbacks in the game, and he’ll have the opportunity to do it in Houston.
