I think once you get down to the 6th round your aren't necessarily looking for the prototype. It's either a project or just the best football player left...which seems to be the case. His size is likely why he slipped so far to begin with, but that late in the draft I'm sure the Texans looked at him and said here's a a solid football player with some top flight speed. I'm sure they probably thought he might be more of a return guy initially, but he seems to be getting more play at CB now.
