Houston Texans 2021 player profile: DT Ross Blacklock

The Houston Texans did not have one player from their 2020 draft class who made an impact on the team last season. Certainly, not having OTAs and rookie mini-camp played into the newbies’ lack of on-field production. But the rookies came into the season facing a difficult task to prove their worth in the NFL — given that the previous regime was not fond of playing first-year players.

Of the five players drafted by former head coach and general manager Bill O’Brien, Ross Blacklock is still the most promising prospect who should excel in 2021 as the Texans begin the prelude to their rebuild.
