The goal of the Houston Texans’ 2021 draft, which featured a small, five-man draft class with the first selection coming in Round 3, was to foment as much competition as possible.
The selection of TCU linebacker Garret Wallow with the No. 170 overall pick in Round 5 was to provide youth and competition to the linebacking corps.
According to linebacker Christian Kirksey, Wallow has been developing slowly throughout the offseason and has demonstrated a veteran understanding about the game.
