The Houston Texans once again made shockwaves in the NFL Draft as they traded up from the 28th pick to the 26th and selected Georgia Tech offensive lineman Keylan Rutledge.

And, according to an ESPN reporter, he’s someone who’s been making some good impressions behind the scenes.

Rutledge adds some physicality and toughness to an interesting offensive line

The Texans have officially addressed the offensive line in a big way, and while Rutledge is far from a finished product, he’s an exciting piece for Houston to build around. He’s projected to make an instant impact in the running game, although his pass protection leaves a lot to be desired.

His versatility will be a big plus for Demeco Ryans’ squad just in case of injuries, and perhaps most importantly, he encompasses the SWARM mentality to a tee. Texans fans can expect to see someone who will give his all to his team and will be part of Houston’s offensive line rotation for years to come.
