Houston Texans owner Bob McNair couldn’t be any happier with third-year Pro Bowl linebacker DeMeco Ryans. In an interview with HoustonTexans.com today Mr. McNair said:
“He’s everything that you would want. He was an academic All-American at Alabama for two years. He has a smile on his face all the time; he’s a great teammate. He works hard; he has great ability. He never criticizes one of his other teammates. He will give them a pat on the back, and he’s just a terrific leader. For people to see a young fellow come in and in the last two years perform the way he did — he has gained the respect of the veterans too.”
You know what? Mr. McNair is right. DeMeco is every coach’s dream player. And while he might not get as much pub as he would playing for the other team in Texas, let it be known that DeMeco Ryans is already one of the NFL’s best linebackers. Look for his continued progress. The guy can do it all.
