The Houston Texans have potential stars galore on offense with C.J. Stroud, Joe Mixon, Stefon Diggs, Nico Collins and Tank Dell, but there's a player that shouldn't be overlooked.
Tight end Dalton Schultz is entering his second season with the team and he's proving to be a key piece to what the Texans do on offense.
“Dalton is a reliable, trustworthy player. He finds a way to get open, especially third down. He has really great hands. He's always like in between the hashes right there. He's able to make a play, and he's available for C.J. to get the ball to him. Dalton has done that his entire career. He's been a consistent player. He's done a good job for us since he's been here. I think C.J. sees that and he knows that he's a reliable target," coach DeMeco Ryans said.
Not only does Schultz prove to be reliable on the field, but he matches that energy off of it as well.
“Dalton is a vet's vet," Stroud said. "He's somebody that comes in and works hard every day. Not only just on the field is he a mismatch and somebody who can create separation and do a lot of great things, but also he's just a great leader.”
Schultz and the Texans are hoping to build off what they had a year ago and hope that they can get that much closer to that lucrative Super Bowl title.
