Texans undrafted rookie wide receiver Richard Mullaney earned himself a cool nickname at Alabama as a sure-handed slot receiver for the national champion Crimson Tide.
The Oregon State transfer became known as “Slottie Pippen,” as in former Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen.
“That was a nickname I earned this year,” Mullaney said. “I saw it on Twitter and heard about it a lot from my teammates. It’s pretty cool, I guess.”
After catching 38 passes for 390 yards and five touchdowns in his lone season at Alabama after transferring from Oregon State, Mullaney joined the Texans after the draft on a three-year contract.
