Texans offensive tackle looking forward to fifth NFL season, honing blocking skills and optimistic about future
As bookend tackles, Tunsil and Howard, both former first-round draft picks, are a formidable combination.
In Howard’s opinion, the Texans’ substandard record over the past three seasons is impacting how he and Tunsil are regarded by analysts. The Texans went 3-13-1 last season under coach Lovie Smith and have a combined record of 11-38-1 over the past three seasons. Tunsil and Howard use the perceived disrespect as motivational fuel.
The Texans have already made significant investments in the offensive line this offseason, most notably with Tunsil’s blockbuster contract. Texans general manager Nick Caserio traded for right offensive guard Shaq Mason and signed him to a three-year, $36 million contract extension. And they drafted Penn State center-guard Juice Scruggs in the second round one year after selecting left guard Kenyon Green in the first round out of Texas A&M.
The Kansas City Chiefs signed former Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor to a four-year, $80 million contract this offseason that includes $60 million guaranteed with an $18.9 million signing bonus. Taylor allowed five sacks and had seven penalties with 16 pressures allowed last season and now makes $20 million annually.
Whether Howard is ultimately rewarded by the Texans or he cashes in as a free agent, he isn’t worried about his future. He’s focused on football. The business, he believes, will take care of itself.
