Houston Texans Rookie Review: Duke Ejiofor
Houston Texans drafted outside linebacker Duke Ejiofor in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
The Houston Texans drafted pass rusher Duke Ejiofor from Wake Forest University with the 177th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Ejiofor turned out to be another great pickup so late in the draft for Texans general manager Brian Gaine.
Ejiofor was widely projected by draft pundits to be a day two or early third-day pick, but he fell down the draft due to injury concerns. Albeit it was the preseason, Ejiofor played in three games in the preseason. He lived in the backfield creating plays, disrupting opposing quarterbacks, and making special teams tackles.
