Texans' Bill O'Brien on Tytus Howard's rookie season: 'There's a lot to build on'

Rookie Tytus Howard showed his potential after the Texans moved him to right tackle, his natural position.

For Texans offensive tackle Tytus Howard, his rookie season was a mixture of a lot of potential displayed while dealing with a problematic knee injury.

Once Howard shifted from left guard back to his natural right tackle position, the first-round draft pick from Alabama State thrived with his physical blocking style.

Howard injected toughness and power into the offensive line. When the 6-5, 322-pounder partially tore his medial collateral ligament against the Kansas City Chiefs, he only missed two games.
