Houston Texans 2021 player profile: RT Tytus Howard

The top priority for the Houston Texans ahead of the 2019 NFL Draft was to find offensive linemen who could help protect Deshaun Watson. The blueprint led then-general manager Brian Gaine to select Tytus Howard with the Texans’ top selection during the draft.

Two years later, the primary reason Howard is in a Texan jersey may no longer be a part of the equation, but the 25-year-old HBCU prodigy is an essential reason why Houston could have a superior offensive line in 2021.
