The Houston Texans have moved up in the 2024 NFL Draft to select Ohio State tight end Cade Stover with the 123rd overall pick. The Texans executed a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles, moving from the 127th to the 123rd spot, and in return, they surrendered their 2025 fifth-round pick. Stover, who was the Big 10 Tight End of the Year, joins his college teammate and quarterback C.J. Stroud, who had a notable rookie season with the Texans. Stover expressed his readiness to contribute to the team, emphasizing his willingness to do whatever it takes to win and mentioning that he kept in touch with C.J. Stroud during the pre-draft process. Additionally, Stover is known for strengthening his hands by massaging a bull, a unique preparation that aligns with the Texans' bull logo.
