The Houston Texans sparked an interest in Notre Dame prospect Blake Fisher due to his potential, but the information shared by his former college teammate played a role in his draft selection.
HOUSTON — C.J. Stroud wasn't the only player the Houston Texans sought advice from while doing their due diligence for the. They had an interest in Notre Dame offensive lineman Blake Fisher . According to general manager Nick Caserio, the team reached out to Jarrett Patterson to receive some insight on the tackle.
"When I first got to N.D., he was the guy who took me in and made sure I was good," Fisher said during his post-draft interview on Friday. "He believed in me from Day 1. Him taking on the role of a vet, he took me under and showed me the ropes. I love J.P. That's my dog. I am so excited to get back with him."
"We've always been big believers that you can't have enough tackles on your football team," Caserio said. You need three or four tackles that you feel can go out there and play...I'd say in Blake's case, 6'5", 315 pounds, long arms, plays strong, plays physical. Here is another young player with experience, a lot of good qualities and traits. That was the reason behind the pick.
Should the Texans rely upon Fisher's services as a rookie, the former Notre Dame prospect possesses the attributes to help fill the void — similar to what made Patterson a valuable asset the previous season.
