Houston Texans Rumors: 5 AAF players to take a flier on

Jayrone Elliott, EDGE, San Antonio Commanders

Jayrone Elliottwent undrafted out of Toledo back in 2014 and signed with the Green Bay Packers. He wound up making the roster and had a couple of decent seasons before falling out of the league a couple of years later.

Elliott has been one of the AAF’s best pass rushers this year collecting 28 total pressures which include 8 sacks and 5 additional quarterback hits. TheHouston Texanscould use a guy like Elliott backing upJ.J. Watt,Jadeveon Clowney, andWhitney Mercilusoff of the edge.

Jordan McCray, C/G, Arizona Hotshots

Jordan McCrayis the brother of Packers offensive linemanJustin McCray. He received the highest overall grade among offensive lineman in the AAF, per PFF. He played center for the Apollos and has experience at several interior offensive line positions. Since he is primarily a center, that knocks him down this list but he is still a name theHouston Texansshould keep an eye on.

D’Ernest Johnson, RB, Orlando Apollos

D’Ernest Johnsonwas far and away the best running back in the AAF. Yes, even overTrent Richardsonand his 11 touchdowns (and nothing else). Johnson gained 372 yards on 64 carries, or 5.8 yards per carry. He also was very productive through the air, 220 yards on 22 receptions. He was very dominant, 13 carries of 10+ yards, and elusive, 12 eluded tackles. TheHouston Texanscould use more running back depth so why not take a flier on Johnson?
