The Houston Texans keep adding to their receiving corps.
On Saturday, the Texans selected Rhode Island receiver Isaiah Coulter with the 171st overall pick in Round 5 of the 2020 NFL Draft.
The former Ram caught 132 passes for 1,855 yards and 12 touchdowns in his career at Rhode Island. The 6-3, 190-pound wideout had an impressive outing against the Virginia Tech Hokies on Oct. 12, 2019, and that was his sign that it was time to go pro.
“I had a feeling, I would probably think about coming out after that game,” Coulter said. “Just leaving my brothers that I bonded with the three years. So yeah it was kind of hard at first and then I’m packing my stuff, going home for winter break, that’s when I felt it. I was like, I’m not coming back.”
Instead, Coulter is coming to Houston, where the AFC South champions continue to look for options to improve their passing game after the departure of three-time All-Pro DeAndre Hopkins.
