Watch: Youtuber Sketch announce the Texans’ fourth-round pick at the 2024 NFL Draft

What’s up, brothers! Come watch this pick be made by the Houston Texans’ superfan and YouTube star Sketch.

What’s up, brother?

Special teams, special plays, special players.

It’s the one way to describe the Houston Texans after a promising first season with Offensive Rookie of the Year C.J. Stroud and DeMeco Ryans leading the charge in the AFC South.

It’s also the catchphrase of YouTuber and Texans’ super fan Sketch, who took the stage in the fourth round to announce Houston’s pick of Ohio State tight end Cade Stover. 

Stroud, a former teammate of Stover, was likely ecstatic about the pick, but Sketch stole the show with his vibrant persona and infectious smile.

Stover’s a security blanket for any quarterback despite being a ball of clay at the role. Coming to Columbus as an outside linebacker, Stover switched to the offensive side of the ball before his second season as a Buckeye in 2020.

In 2022, Stover racked up 406 yards on 36 catches with five touchdowns. He followed that up with one of the most productive receiving seasons ever for an Ohio State tight end in 2023, notching 41 catches for 576 yards with another five touchdowns.

For his efforts, Stover earned All-Big Ten first-team honors and was named a finalist for the John Mackey Award, given out to the nation’s top tight end.

Stover joins a tight end room headlined by newly-extended Dalton Schultz and should compete with Brevin Jordan to be the Texans’ No. 2 tight end in 2024.

One can only bet this won’t be the last NFL Draft where Sketch makes a pick for his Texans. Of course, everything is on the shoulders of how Stover plays in 2024 as the newest weapon for Stroud and the offense.

Former UGA RB Nick Chubb cares about winning, not your fantasy team

Cleveland Browns and former Georgia Bulldog running back Nick Chubb ran out of bounds instead of risking a potential comeback loss.

The Cleveland Browns gave former Georgia Bulldog running back Nick Chubb the ball with the game on the line. Nick Chubb did not let Cleveland down.

On third-and-3, with a little more than a minute to go Nick Chubb took a toss play outside the hash marks, made a man miss and he was off to the races. Nobody was catching Nick Chubb, but that didn’t stop him from going out of bounds at the 1-yard line instead of scoring a touchdown.

Chubb knew the game’s situation well. If he scored, then Cleveland would be up 17-7, but the Houston Texans would’ve gotten the ball back. Sure, Houston would’ve needed multiple scores in under a minute, but NFL fans saw some crazy things this past week including a Hail Mary catch by DeAndre Hopkins.

Instead of scoring, Chubb put his team first and ran the ball out of bounds. Cleveland kneeled a few times and won 10-7. Here’s the play where Nick Chubb ripped out the clutch run to put the game away:

Chubb’s fantasy managers will be upset, but Nick Chubb cares about winning, not about fantasy sports. Chubb was happy to return from injury and improve Cleveland’s playoff hopes. The Browns are 6-3 overall and will look to lean on Nick Chubb moving forward.

2020 CFB season countdown: 39 days until Georgia football

Join us as we count down the days until Georgia is scheduled to kick off in Atlanta!

Just because Virginia will not be playing Georgia on Sept. 7 doesn’t mean the Bulldogs won’t be facing anyone in Atlanta for the Chick-fil-A Kick Off game. Therefore, we are keeping to our original countdown.

There are 39 days until Georgia is scheduled to kick off in Atlanta.

Former Georgia defensive back, No. 39, Corey Moore (2011-2014) appeared in 50 games over his career in Athens. From Griffin, Georgia, the former 4-star recruit was rated as the No. 4 safety in the 2011 recruiting class. At Georgia, Moore totaled 76 tackles, 2 interceptions, three pass breakups and one sack and was a defensive leader of Georgia’s 2014 team that finished 10-3.

Moore went undrafted in 2014, but signed with the NFL’s  Houston Texans in 2015 where he played three seasons before playing for the Indianapolis Colts in 2018. Moore is currently a member of the Ottawa Redblacks of the CFL.

2020 CFB season countdown: 61 days until Georgia football

Join us as we count down the days until Georgia kicks-off in Atlanta!

There are 61 days until Georgia kicks-off in Atlanta versus Virginia on Sept. 7.

Former Georgia center, #61, Ben Jones played a key role on the Bulldogs’ offensive line from 2008-2011. Jones was Coaches’ Freshman All-SEC and All-SEC second-team in hist first two seasons before being named All-American by ESPN as a senior in 2011. Jones not only protected star quarterback Matthew Stafford, one of the most prolific passers in Georgia history, he also helped pave the way for running back Knowshon Moreno, who ran for 1,400 yards during their one season together.

Jones was drafted by the Houston Texans in the 4th round of the 2012 NFL Draft where he played 4 seasons. He currently plays for the Tennessee Titans and is under contract through 2021.

Jones actually wore No. 61 for the first three years of his UGA career before switching to No. 60 for his senior season.  At the age of 10, Jones lost his father. Since that moment, Jones wore 60 on his jersey to honor his dad since that was the number he wore when he played football. Upon coming to Georgia, Jones had to wait until tackle Clint Boling graduated, as he had the number. Jones waited and eventually got to wear No. 60.

Houston Texans sign UGA’s Davin Bellamy to practice squad

The Houston Texans have signed former Georgia Bulldog linebacker Davin Bellamy to their practice squad. Bellamy was previously with the Texans when they signed him as an undrafted free agent after the 2018 NFL Draft. Bellamy spent 2018 on Houston’s practice squad.

In 2019, Bellamy primarily played for the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad. Now, he’s returned to Houston, who is facing the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round of the AFC Playoffs this weekend.

Bellamy will look to make Houston’s roster in 2020 and establish a larger foothold in the NFL. Bellamy reportedly rejected rejoining Cincinnati’s practice squad.

Bellamy recorded 13 sacks and 135 total tackles as a Georgia Bulldog. He’s continued to play OLB at the NFL level.
