3. Ryan Griffin, TE

The Texans look like they really like undrafted tight end Stephen Anderson. The rookie has five catches for 40 yards in just two pro games. Not bad at all for the former walk-on at Cal.

What is bad is three catches for 22 yards for Ryan Griffin. At the end of last year, Griffin looked like he was the favorite to start becoming a threat as a pass catching tight end in Houston.

He had 20 receptions in just nine games played, with most of those coming as the season neared the end.

He’s started slow this year though and against the Chiefs had just one reception for five yards. It was a slow day for a kid who looked like he was turning a corner last season.
