Jean emerges among Texans WRs

HOUSTON (AP) — Gary Kubiak thinks the Houston Texans may have found another undrafted free agent with star potential.

Lestar Jean has emerged as the leading candidate to fill the No. 3 receiver slot behind Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter. And Kubiak foresees great things down the road for the 24-year-old Jean, who leads the Texans with six receptions in the preseason.

In 2009, Houston took a chance by signing undrafted free agent Arian Foster. Foster led the NFL in rushing in 2010 and made his second Pro Bowl last season. Like Foster back then, Jean is just worried about making the final roster now.

The Texans (No. 4 in the AP Pro32) plays at New Orleans (No. 9) on Saturday.
