Report: Texans sign sixth-round C Jarrett Patterson to rookie contract

The Houston Texans locked up their first rookie of the 2023 draft class in center Jarrett Patterson.

The Houston Texans are making headway signing their nine-player draft class.

According to Aaron Wilson from KPRC-TV, the Texans signed sixth-round center Jarrett Patterson to a four-year contract.

Houston picked Patterson No. 201 in Round 6 of the draft. The Notre Dame product has the ability to play center and guard, which caught the eye of the Texans.

“He’s done both,” general manager Nick Caserio said after the draft on April 29. “Essentially it says he can play all three positions. How does he fare relative to someone else inside? When you’re taking seven to eight offensive linemen into the game, the ability to do multiple is going to enhance that player’s overall value.”

Patterson earned third-team all-ACC in 2020.
