Houston Texans TE 'Reliable' for QB C.J. Stroud, Teammates

   

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.

Houston Texans TE 'Reliable' for QB C.J. Stroud, Teammates

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.
