Houston coach Dana Holgorsen ‘couldn’t be more excited’ to have Texans draft Tank Dell

Count Dana Holgorsen among the many inside the Bayou City and the surrounding areas that is ecstatic the Houston Texans picked Tank Dell.

The Texans traded with the Los Angeles Rams to take the former Houston Cougars receiver with the 69th overall pick in Round 3 of the 2023 NFL draft Friday night in Kansas City.

“Couldn’t be more excited,” Holgorsen said via the Houston Chronicle’s Joseph Duarte. “I loved coaching Tank and having him continue his career in Houston is as good as it gets. Being able to watch Case Keenum throw to Tank Dell is what it’s all about about. Great Coogs. Great people!”

Keenum is back with the Texans for a third stint, but this time as the veteran backup to rookie C.J. Stroud, who the Texans took No. 2 overall on Thursday night.
