<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky Gary C. Caskey/Reuters Coach Gary Kubiak likened Houston's Kevin Walter to longtime Broncos WR Ed McCaffrey (above). It's no secret that Gary Kubiak loves Kevin Walter. After a Texans practice Wednesday, the coach paid Walter a major compliment. According to the transcript the team sent out, when Kubiak was asked about Walter being quick and having good hands, the coach expanded the list of the receiver's qualities. "Well, you know he's a tough player, too, and it's what we want to do offensively. We got to have guys that go out there and dig out safeties and stuff in the run game. He reminds me of a kid who played for me a long time, Ed McCaffrey. He reminds me of him a great deal. What happens to guys like that, who people say is like this or like that, they find a way to make up for it. Kevin, in his career, has become such a technician at what he does, that if he's like a tenth of a second here or there speed-wise, he'll find a way to make it up." The versatile McCaffrey was a key cog on Denver teams when Kubiak was an assistant there and he's a player most Broncos fans remember with great fondness. Walter stepped it up last year when Andre Johnson got hurt, leading the Texans with 65 receptions. With Johnson back in the lineup and drawing the heavier coverage, Walter could be in line for big things. He was a Giants seventh-round pick out of Eastern Michigan in 2003, but didn't make the team and played in Cincinnati from 2003-05 before the Texans signed him. Andre Davis ranks third in Houston's receiving corps, with Jacoby Jones fourth. Jones has missed the last few days with a foot injury.</div> http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afcsouth/0-2-11...-McCaffrey.html Looks like I was a year off, potentially, in picking Walter as a sleeper WR. I thought he was going to break out last year. Hopefully he does this year, so I look smart....
