The Houston Texans have officially selected Michigan tight end Marlin Klein with the No. 59 overall pick in the second round of the NFL Draft, according to @AdamSchefter.
Klein, a 6-foot-6, 250-pound prospect from the University of Michigan, joins a Texans roster looking to add size and depth to their offensive unit. During his time with the Wolverines, Klein established himself as a versatile player in the Big Ten, contributing to Michigan's offensive schemes as both a physical blocker and a receiving threat. His physical profile made him a notable name throughout the scouting process leading up to the second round.
The selection of Klein at No. 59 represents a significant move for Houston as they continue to build their roster through the draft. By drafting the Michigan standout, the Texans have addressed the tight end position early in the event. Klein is the latest in a series of picks made by the Texans front office aimed at bolstering the team's depth for the upcoming season. He is expected to join the team's rookie minicamp in the coming weeks to begin his professional career in the NFL.
