Texans O-Line Battle: The Center Battle Will MAKE or BREAK Houston’s Run Game

This ain’t just another position battle… this is the one that could DEFINE the entire Houston Texans offense in 2025.

The center spot is officially a WAR ⚔️

On one side — Andrews: high IQ, sharp with protection calls, a guy who can elevate C.J. Stroud pre-snap and keep the offense in rhythm.
On the other — Brown: the proven glue guy, battle-tested, reliable, and the one with the stronger résumé.

But here’s the truth: whoever wins this job will decide just how dominant (or average) this offensive line can be — especially in the run game.

And don’t get it twisted… even with this battle heating up, does this rule out Houston drafting a center? I’m telling you right now… NO.
