Aireontae Ersery Fantasy Stats

The Houston Texans spent their second-round pick on Minnesota offensive lineman Aireontae Ersery, and he has since drawn the praise of journalists and teammates alike. Former first-round pick and 2023 Defensive Rookie of the Year was asked on Saturday which rookies had impressed him through camp, and he didn't hesitate to name Ersery. He quickly pointed out Ersery's work ethic and noted that he has all the tools to become a great offensive lineman in the league. Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud struggled in his sophomore season, largely due to the failings of the offensive line in front of him. The Texans now go into 2025 with a new offensive coordinator and an overhauled offensive line, and with Ersery manning his blindside, the hope out of Houston is that Stroud can return to the form that won him Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2023.

The Houston Texans have acquired the No. 48 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft from the Las Vegas Raiders. In return, the Texans are sending the 58th and 99th picks back to the Raiders. Houston decided to spend its selection on Minnesota offensive tackle Aireontae Ersery. A three-year starter at left tackle in college, Ersery will likely begin his NFL career on the right side of the offensive line. He'll be tasked with protecting C.J. Stroud after Houston reshaped its offensive line this offseason, trading away Kenyon Green and Laremy Tunsil.
