Texans Bring Back Logan Brock

LoganBrock

The Houston Texans brought back to the practice squad tight end Logan Brock to fill a void that was left by rookie tight end Phillip Supernaw, who was injured in practice this week (stress fracture in right foot). Supernaw beat out Logan for an invite back to the practice squad after cuts were made after the final preseason game. Brock is 6-3 and 248 lbs. and was signed before camp out of TCU where he was used primarily as a blocking option. He showed some good work in camp and the preseason games and it was a toss-up between him and Supernaw for a practice squad spot….

With the Houston Texans getting into the flow of OTAs we wanted to look at the 2012 rookie class a little closer. We enlisted the help of Shane Hallam of Draft Countdown to give us some quick thoughts on the entire rookie class of the Texans. We asked Hallam also who the rookies compare to that are in the NFL which give us a baseline for what to look for when camp opens up. Take a look at let us know what you think.   The Rookies (Part 3)     Delano Johnson – Very intriguing pass rush prospect.  Really nice frame and powerful bull rusher.  Played special teams throughout…

Texans Profiles: The UDFA

Houston Texans Fans
