Houston Texans Announce Rookie Fifth Round Pick To’oTo’o To Start Against Colts

The Houston Texans announced the unofficial depth chart for Week 2 of the season and slipped in a little surprise for us all.

Rookie fifth round linebacker Henry To’oTo’o has been elevated to be a starter over LBs Jake Hansen and Blake Cashman. According to NFLGSIS.com, the rookie played one third of the snaps on defense and 72% of the snaps on special teams in his first NFL action last weekend. His immediate impact on the defense and special teams is a fantastic sign to see out of a late round pick labeled as “Good Backup With The Potential To Develop Into Starter” by NFL’s Draft and Combine Prospect Profile.
