rookie tight end Marlin Klein. As soon as the game started, quarterback Davis Mills delivered a strike to Klein for a 31-yard gain... he will be a pretty big part of what they are trying to do on offense... The Texans need someone who is a willing blocker, and can make an impact in their rushing attack, and Klein looked very solid in that department as well.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Klein's preseason debut and run-blocking work signal immediate offensive impact.

Rookie tight end impressed in preseason debut against the Chargers with a 31-yard reception on the game's opening drive; the source notes he made an immediate impact despite limited snaps, suggesting the Texans are managing his workload carefully because he will be a significant part of the offense. Klein also demonstrated strong run-blocking fundamentals, consistently using inside hand strikes, rolling his hips, and maintaining grip strength against larger opponents—a key requirement for the Texans' rushing attack.
