HOUSTON -- It was evening time when Houston Texans second-round pick Jalen Pitre was in his childhood bedroom, studying film.
Jalen’s mother, DeVita, was sitting on a black couch in the living room explaining why her multimillion-dollar son had decided to live with his parents after being drafted in April.
The backstory centers around Jalen asking DeVita to search online on his behalf, as he was unfamiliar with home ownership. As she was about to reveal the prices she discovered, Jalen's dad, Rick, leaned over and playfully interrupted DeVita.
“She’s going around in circles,” Rick said as DeVita giggled.
