The Houston Texans added more depth to their tight end group with the selection of Oregon State’s Teagan Quitoriano with the No. 170 pick in Round 5 of the 2022 NFL draft.
The pick follows a pattern set by general manager Nick Caserio in the 2021 draft, his first with the Texans, when he took former Miami tight end Brevin Jordan. The rationale was to foment competition at a stacked position. The selection of Quitoriano serves a similar purpose.
Quitoriano is the second selection the Texans have made in the fifth round in 2022. Houston grabbed former Stanford defensive end Thomas Booker with the No. 150 overall selection.
