The Houston Texans have made a number of moves around the board during the 2020 NFL Draft, one of which included trading up to the 126th overall pick where they selected offensive tackle, Charlie Heck.
Earlier today, the Texans Wire spoke with North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Mack Brown about his now-former starter:
We couldn’t be prouder of Charlie and want to congratulate him on this accomplishment. It didn’t take long for us to see why Charlie would be successful, both in football and in life. He worked hard. He was a leader. He played through injury when he didn’t have to. He’s just a good young man, who handles himself with class and integrity. The Texans got a good one in Charlie and I expect him to have a long and successful career.
Heck brings with him an NFL pedigree. The son of former NFL OL Andy Heck, current offensive line coach for the Kansas City Chiefs, the Texans appear to have found themselves the backup swing tackle they’ve been looking for.
The 23-year old fits the mold of a Bill O’Brien Texans lineman perfectly. At just shy of 6-8, 311 pounds he will suit the big-bodied line that O’Brien and offensive line coach Mike Devlin is building.
