Houston Texans pick Pittsburgh S Brandon Hill No. 248 overall in Round 7 of 2023 NFL draft

The Houston Texans have added another defensive back to new coach DeMeco Ryans’ defense.

The Texans used the 248th overall pick in Round 7 of the 2023 NFL draft to take Pittsburgh safety Brandon Hill.

The 5-11, 195-pounder generated 67 combined tackles, a half-tackle for loss, two pass breakups, and returned a 30-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown through his 12 games with the Panthers last season.

The redshirt junior from Apopka, Florida, earned second-team All-ACC honors in 2021.

Hill joins a Texans secondary that features young and veteran talent ranging from second-year Jalen Pitre to free agent Jimmie Ward, who is entering his 10th season in the NFL.
