Summary
How long before Marlin Klein becomes a star for the Houston Texans? The rookie tight end believes he can do it all — and after learning from Dalton Schultz, Klein is already picking up valuable lessons that could accelerate his development. But his impact may go well beyond the box score. Houston made an assertive effort to revamp its running game, and Klein could have a major role in how that new-look Texans offense operates. Add in C.J. Stroud, who I expect to actively look for Klein whenever the opportunity presents itself, and there’s a real chance this tight end becomes a bigger part of Houston’s offense as the season progresses. The numbers won't always tell the full story. Blocking. Motion. Formation versatility. Creating space. Making life easier for the guys around him. But don't be surprised if Marlin Klein becomes one of the most important pieces of the Houston Texans offense by the end of the season. We’re breaking down Klein’s development, his connection with Dalton Schultz, C.J. Stroud’s potential involvement, and why his role could grow quickly.
