Texans rookie TE Marlin Klein shows promise in early training camp
Summary

Marlin Klein, drafted by the Houston Texans in the second round, continues to progress in the early stages of training camp. Klein is making an impact in drills, demonstrating his size and receiving skills despite a previous lower-body injury that limited his offseason participation. Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley noted Klein's work ethic and potential for a significant role, while head coach DeMeco Ryans highlighted his mismatch potential against defenders. Klein will compete for playing time against other tight ends but is expected to make the roster due to his draft status.
