Texans GM calls rookie team's best lineman after clashes with NFL's best defenders
Houston's leadership is trusting a first-round rookie to help transform the weakest part of their roster.
Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio expressed confidence in rookie offensive lineman Keylan Rutledge, stating that he is likely the team's best left guard. Caserio, known for his rigorous evaluation process, has spent 25 years in NFL talent assessment, primarily with the New England Patriots and now the Houston Texans. Rutledge's performance during training camp and preseason action has earned him a starting position on the Texans' offensive line for the upcoming season.
The team is set to face the Buffalo Bills on September 13. Rutledge, along with guards Evan Brown and Ed Ingram, and tackles Aireontae Ersery and Trent Brown, are expected to form the starting lineup for the offensive unit.
