ATHENS - It’s clear former Georgia Bulldog and two-time national champion Kamari Lassiter is turning heads with the Houston Texans.
Head coach Demeco Ryans met with the media this week and was asked about Lassiter, who is coming off a tremendous college career in Athens.
You could see Ryans’ face light up when given an opportunity to talk about his rookie cornerback.
“Kamari is showing up every day. He’s quiet, but he’s locked in. Focused and intense. You don’t notice him much because he’s always doing his job. He’s always where he should be. He’s always in position and doing what we ask him to do.”
“Everything has been positive with him”, Ryans added. “He’s exactly the guy we saw from the Georgia film. He’s a dog. He’s locked in. It’ll show up even more when the pads come on. We just remember the Georgia tape and how physical he was when it came to tackling. We’re encouraged where he is and we think he’ll continue to ascend and get better.”
Lassiter, a physical, sure-tackling cornerback with cover skills, was a leader for the Georgia Bulldog defense throughout his career. In late March he was selected by the Houston Texans with the 42nd pick in the 2nd round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
At Georgia, Lassiter made 86 career tackles in three seasons with 8.5 TFLs, one sack, one INT and 15 career pass deflections.
