Isaiah Coulter didn’t really have a rookie year.
Not really — the former Rhode Island Ram may have gone in Round 5 of the 2020 NFL draft, and he may have played one game for the Houston Texans, but COVID-19 nixed his smooth transition from the Colonial Athletic Association to the NFL.
With full participation in the Texans’ offseason program in 2021, the 6-3, 190-pound wideout has been able to build up more of his confidence and display some of his catch radius.
Going against veteran cornerback Terrance Mitchell in the seventh training camp practice on the eighth day at Houston Methodist Training Center, Coulter was able to break away from the jam and catch a touchdown pass near the pylon from rookie quarterback Davis Mills.

Coulter is in a competitive receivers room with Brandin Cooks, Chris Moore, Chris Conley, rookie Nico Collins, and Keke Coutee. Coulter will need to make plays like this in preseason games to keep the coaching staff’s attention.
