Stevenson

Stevenson can play center and guard, but is only backup material.

The Notre Dame alum doesn’t appear to have a future in the league.

Stevenson played for Charlie Weis at Notre Dame. Weis compared him to former Patriot Joe Andruzzi. He could play guard and center.

Stevenson will be cut shortly, although he says a labrum tear sustained in the workouts might end his career anyway. Three Texans suffered season-ending injuries in last year’s minicamps, including Jordan Black (shoulder) and Chukky Okobi (triceps). Stevenson and Black have filed grievances.

Commissioner Roger Goodell needs to send a message and take away a pick so teams don’t continue doing this. It’s common practice. If found guilty (which they are), the Texans will at least lose a round of OTAs and face a fine.

New England will likely sign Stevensen to the practice squad. He was a sixth-round pick this year.
