Texans upbeat about rookie tight end Kahale Warring

Big, strong, fast and a willing blocker, Texans rookie Kahale Warring checks a lot of boxes for the tight end position.

The Texans regard him as the prototype for the position.

The third-round draft pick from San Diego State is 6-5, 252 pounds with 4.67 speed in the 40-yard dash.

Although Warring is still considered somewhat raw because of his limited football background as a former water polo, basketball and swimming standout, the Texans are excited about him. Warring could carve out a niche in the Texans' offense in tandem with Jordan Thomas and Jordan Akins.
