Texans' Jalen Pitre: Working with the ones
Pitre has been practicing with the top defensive unit early in camp, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Pitre put on a show Friday, lunging for a tipped pass to record his first interception of camp. Houston head coach Lovie Smith said the No. 37 overall pick in the 2022 draft is blending in and then offered conflicting statements about the rookie's role, referring to Pitre as "one of our starting safeties" before telling reporters he isn't "giving out any starting spots." It sounds like Smith wants Pitre to start and will evaluate his progress throughout the preseason before committing to him as a No. 1 safety.

Texans' Jalen Pitre: Stays in Lone Star State
The Texans selected Pitre in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 37th overall.
Houston picks up another in-state product in Pitre out of Baylor. Pitre is built like a corner at 5-foot-11 and 198 pounds and has plenty of coverage ability despite being a safety. He has strong short-area quickness (6.74-second three-cone drill) that allows him to turn and recover when he gets beat. Pitre also is a willing tackler who made 60 or more stops in each of his last two seasons at Baylor. He'll challenge for snaps in Lovie Smith's defense right away.
