Texans’ Tytus Howard primed for big year after fifth-year option exercised: tyhoward71 AaronWilson_NFL HoustonTexans Texans KPRC2 HTX
Drafted in 2019, Howard has established himself as an athletic, aggressive blocker. Now, he’s under contract for next season on a fully guaranteed $13.2 million salary.
A former high school quarterback and walk-on who gained 100 pounds to emerge as an NFL draft prospect and Senior Bowl all-star game standout, Howard is a former all-rookie selection.With Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil healthy again after missing the majority of last season after undergoing thumb surgery, Howard has shifted back to his natural right tackle spot.
“When I talk about the tackle position, Tytus is a good player,” Texans coach Lovie Smith said. “Maybe our strongest position on our team.” Howard has started all 37 games he’s played in since his arrival in Houston. The Texans drafted Texas A&M lineman Kenyon Green and plugged him at left guard. Howard is playing next to right offensive guard A.J. Cann, a former Jacksonville Jaguars starter.
