Description: "Last year it was 'let's prove everybody wrong', but now this year it's 'let's prove everybody right." Tank Dell, Houston Texans Wide Receiver NFL season Kicks off next week and our NFL Training Camp tour is coming to an end and we've been sitting with star players from around the league getting inside scoop, hearing never-told-before stories and going inside the locker room mentality of the 32 teams as they prepare for the 2024 season. In this episode of The Pivot Podcast in partnership with Fanatics, we visit H Town, where Ryan, Channing, and Fred take a look at the resurgence of the Texans while learning more about a young receiver who caught everything thrown his way, including the respect of head coach DeMeco Ryans and the attention of Quarterback CJ Stroud, who say Tank Dell is one of the league's top 5 doing it right now. The 2nd year NFL wide receiver may be underestimated around the NFL, but the Houston Texans know what he's made of and that his talent speaks for itself. Tank's not worried about his underdog status, saying he's worn that "underdog" title his whole life and it just adds to the chip on his shoulder of not proving people wrong, but proving the people RIGHT, who took a chance on him. Returning from injury and starting on a team that has overcome their own dark horse reputation, Tank Dell is more than ready for the spotlight in the 2024 season and eager to show the football world, just who he really is on and off the field while helping his team chase a Super Bowl. For those closest to Dell, they will tell you that football's not just everything to him, it's the only thing. The often forgotten man around the league is the fuel that ignites Houston's offense and ready to contribute anyway he can alongside stars Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins, as he shares the team's plan to balance the star power and make every play count. Peeling back the layers of Dell's tumultuous background from high school to college to now, the 24 year old, shares with the guys how relying on self belief and his faith helped him overcome obstacles and push through setbacks, leading him to make the necessary changes to separate himself from a questionable off the field path. A massive life scare this past off-season, Tank explains what happened the night he was shot in Florida and more importantly, what he learned from the entire situation. While physically he has recovered, mentally he has a fair share of healing to do but is growing in the right places while moving forward with the right people in his corner . He's motivated by getting back to football, using the game to support his healing journey while his confidence in himself and his teammates, reigns high...because Dell is certain the Texans are destined to be champions with the Super Bowl as the ultimate goal.
