In April 2013, Central Michigan Offensive Tackle Eric Fisher walked across the stage at Radio City Music Hall after being announced as the first overall selection of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. It's one of the biggest accomplishments in not just football, but in all sports, and is one that brings the most pressure. This year, the Houston Texans have the "privilege" of choosing the first player in the draft, and their choice isn't as easy you'd think. Here are five players who could walk across the stage first this May:
5. Sammy Watkins, Clemson
(2013 Stats: 101 receptions, 1,462 yards, 12 receiving TDs) The explosive junior from Clemson has been Tahj Boyd's number one offensive weapon since he descended on Death Valley. Coming off an outstanding 200-yard outing against Ohio State in the Orange Bowl, Watkins presents a surprising option for the Houston Texans as not only a dangerous Wide Receiver, but a Kick and Punt Return specialist as well. I think Houston is set at Wide Receiver for the time being with Andre Johnson leading the way, so they'll more than likely pass on Sammy at #1. Odds of being selected #1: 4%
