Congratulations to all the guys I was able to work with during the draft process and over the years on earning their next opportunity over the weekend. More work to do

A guy who plays the position the way itโs supposed to be played. Congratulations to Keylan Rutledge on being selected 26th overall by the @HoustonTexans#itsallinthedetails
Seeing some push that Keylan Rutledge isnโt a fit for zone-based run schemes.
That doesnโt line up with his tape.
Here are 9 examples of high-level zone execution from this past season:
Texas A&M OL Trey Zuhn said he is confident he can play all five OL positions. Heโs proud of being a captain his final two seasons with the Aggies. Was good at LT and C for Aggies this past season.
Had an informal meeting with the Texans.
Auburn Center Connor Lew was tasked with setting protections at Auburn. Took pride in taking some workload off the QBโs plate. Prides himself on knowing what every OL is supposed to do.
He had a formal meeting with the Houston Texans. He said he feels like he fits that offense.
The game moves fast. Your understanding of your scheme, and how the defense will defend it, will slow things down for you. Here weโre talking through our thought process in the run game and what determines the angle we need to be on to execute our blocks.
