The Houston Texans’ last selection in the 2020 NFL Draft was fifth-round receiver Isaiah Coulter from Rhode Island.
The 6-3, 190-pound wideout has had to battle through the pandemic and injuries, which are impediments for 2020 rookies to see any playing time. However, interim coach Romeo Crennel provided an update on Coulter’s progress, indicating the former Gwynn Park (Maryland) High School product could see some activation this season.
“I think he’s made progress as far as catching the ball,” Crennel said. “He’s got frame and he’s got pretty good hands. I think that we’re going to have to see how he does with route running and things like that. If that improves and comes along then there’s a possibility he could get activated.”
The Texans have four quality receivers in Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb, and Kenny Stills, who have all been healthy and available through the first six games. Coulter could find playing time on special teams when the club decides to insert him into games.
