ESPN says Texans RT Tytus Howard was 2nd-best tackle in run blocking from Week 2

Houston Texans right tackle Tytus Howard won 89% of his run block engagements in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Houston Texans right tackle Tytus Howard may be the best option for the run game to get yards.

According to ESPN Stats and Info, the former 2019 first-round pick from Alabama State won 89% of his run block engagements, the second-best in the NFL from Week 2.

The Texans didn’t a chance to run the ball much in Week 2 as their 33-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens was hallmarked with turnovers and playing catch-up the entire game. However, when the run game did go to Howard’s side, they had decent success.

Howard missed eight games last due to complications from a sprained MCL in Week 6 that lingered throughout the year. The member of the 2019 Pro Football Writers of America all-rookie team has started two games and finished both of them at right tackle this season.
