The heart and soul of Indiana’s defense the last two seasons, Aiden Fisher, was selected in the seventh round with the 243rd pick by the Houston Texans. Fisher is the eighth Hoosier to be selected in this year’s draft, setting a new school record (1976).
What the Texans are Getting?
Houston is getting a player with great instincts, a tremendous work ethic and the ability to command the locker room of a championship team. Fisher may not have all the measurables, but he makes it up with heart.
Fisher is a Mike linebacker who can run the defense as an extension of his coordinator. He’s well-built with leadership and football character that are praised by teammates and coaches. Fisher has the instincts and feel of an NFL player but lacks the needed quickness and athletic ability. He reads play designs and gets to the action at a high rate, but a lack of range, cover talent and plus open-field tackling will make the NFL jump challenging.– Lance Zierlein NFL.com
What is Coogan’s 2026 Outlook?
The road to the 53-man roster for seventh road picks is tough. Fisher has been doubted before and has worked his way up to where he helped lead the Hoosiers to a title, so he has the ability to do it again.
