Texans to sign former Stanford DL Thomas Booker

The Houston Texans have added another member of their nine-player 2022 NFL draft class to their 90-man roster.

According to Aaron Wilson from the Pro Football Network, the Texans have signed former Stanford defensive lineman Thomas Booker to a standard four-year rookie contract.

The Texans drafted Booker in the fifth round to help with their defensive line depth. At 6-3, 301 pounds, Booker has the ability to play inside and outside in coach Lovie Smith’s Tampa 2 scheme with a 4-3 front.

Booker previously posted on his Twitter that he was enthused to “go to work” for the Texans. With a contract in place and rookie minicamps this weekend, Booker will actually get to work.
