My Take
Jared Crick is the sort of player I quietly appreciate. A defensive end forged at Nebraska, he was a fourth-round pick by Houston in 2012, which means he had to grind for everything he got. There are no shortcuts for late-round linemen; you earn snaps with effort and toughness, not pedigree. At 6-foot-4 he made his name disrupting plays rather than chasing personal stats. I have a soft spot for athletes who build a pro career from a middling draft slot. His self-deprecating social handle hints at a player who never took the spotlight too seriously, which I find genuinely likable.
