Who many believed to be a sixth-to-seventh round pick, the Houston Texans invested their fifth-round selection in former Oregon State defensive back Treston Decoud, looking to bolster an already highly potent secondary. Decoud is a rare talent and student of the game, in that his on-field abilities coupled with off-field composure prove his worth to an NFL franchise. Showcasing his rare size and physicality, Decoud checks nearly every box required of a defensive back.
Boasting a distinguished resume, his junior and senior seasons are not to be forgotten by those in and around Corvallis. As put forth with the Beavers, Decoud’s competitive fervor and willingness to win will transfer to Houston, ultimately providing the Texans with a fearless competitor in the defensive backfield.
