    Derick Armstrong?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derick_Armstrong

    Living in Vegas without the NFL Sunday Ticket, I don't get to follow the Texans as much as I'd like so I'm quite a bit out of the loop...but from what I can remember, Armstrong used to make some insane catches and had pretty solid hands. Why didn't he stick with the Texans...or the NFL for that matter?

    Just curious.

    Too slow, and could not play special teams. But I never saw the guy drop a pass in practice. He had great hands.

    I remember someone on these message boards that was a big fan of the Canadian Football League talking up Armstrong something crazy. They kept telling us he was going to be a star in the league, or something to that effect. I wonder if he went back to the CFL.

    I always wondered why he didn't get to play more. When they let him play, he was very effective and had the best hands on the team hands down.

    Besides Carr getting sacked, he was one of the few on those Texan teams that did at least one thing very well. He will always be missed.....jk, but he could have played more.
