Seth Payne is joined by Bryant Browning, former Ohio State offensive lineman and host of the Bleav in Buckeyes podcast, to break down why the Houston Texans keep coming back to Columbus for talent.

Bryant gives his perspective on Texans draft pick Kayden McDonald, including how McDonald went from short-yardage run stuffer to every-down force for Ohio State, why his ability to anchor is real, and where his pass-rush upside could still grow. Seth and Bryant also discuss why McDonald fits DeMeco Ryans’ defense, especially in those critical moments when the Texans need a big body who can stop the run.

Then they zoom out to the bigger Ohio State-Houston connection: C.J. Stroud’s growth, Ryan Day’s development culture, Cade Stover’s path from linebacker to tight end, and why the Texans may see Ohio State as one of their trusted NFL pipelines.

Plus, Bryant shares his perspective as a Browns fan on Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, Todd Monken, and the strange football overlap between Cleveland and Houston.
