When Texans rookie tight end Jordan Thomas caught a pair of touchdown passes Thursday night against the Miami Dolphins, he joined some exclusive company.
The sixth-round draft pick from Mississippi State tied a franchise record for the most touchdown catches in a game by a rookie, joining Andre Johnson, Owen Daniels and Jaelen Strong.
"I was happy for Jordan Thomas," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said. "He's really worked hard. He's a good football player. Big guy, was a receiver at Mississippi State. We went and worked him out. Big guy just has really worked hard with Timmy Kelly to improve his game and I thought he had a good game.
