drafting Michigan's Loveland-lite: Marlin Klein. Both of these players were brought in to provide, among other things, some 'scheme flexibility' to the Texans' offense...Whether or not Klein will break through his rookie year will depend heavily on his ability to remain healthy. Injuries haunted Klein while in Michigan, and he spent much of this summer nursing a hamstring injury.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Klein drafted for scheme flexibility; injury history is key concern for rookie impact.

The source identifies Klein as an under-the-radar rookie for the Texans heading into 2026. Klein was drafted to provide scheme flexibility to the offense with smooth footwork and long wingspan; he could deliver blocking juice and receiving upside. However, his breakthrough will depend heavily on remaining healthy, as injuries haunted him at Michigan and he spent much of summer nursing a hamstring injury. He's competing with Moreau and Brevin Jordan for playing time behind Schultz.
