The Houston Texans have their new slot receiver to take over games in Iowa State star Jaylin Noel. The hope is he'll become a chain-moving machine and impact on special teams for the AFC South champions by the end of the 2025 season.

Experts are high on Jayden Noel hitting with the Houston Texans in 2025 as C.J. Stroud's newest weapon. Some believe he's the steal of the draft!

Now Noel — along with fellow former ISU standout receiver Jayden Higgins — projects as a likely early second-day draft pick. Add former Cyclone cornerback Darien Porter to that mix, as well, along with offensive tackle Jalen Travis and even oft-injured but talented safety Malik Verdon.
