NFL draft: Texans draft Notre Dame offensive lineman on day 3

Congrats to Jarrett Patterson on being drafted!

Two-time Notre Dame captain [autotag]Jarrett Patterson[/autotag] has a new home after being drafted by the Houston Texans.  They picked Patterson in the sixth round with the 201st overall pick.

Patterson has been a main-stay on Notre Dame’s offensive line as he’s started the last four seasons.  He started his career as a tackle before moving to center where he starred.   He moved to guard for the 2022 campaign.  Patterson was named a second-team All-American at Notre Dame.

Patterson is the first Notre Dame product to be drafted by the Texans since 2016.  That year Houston used a first round pick on receiver Will Fuller and a second round pick on Nick Martin.
