Tight End Rank: #51
Overall: #415
The former baseball prospect is older than most rookies (25 shortly after the season starts), but is an athletic player with upside. The Texans took him based on his potential because he saw little work as a tight end in college. Casey played seven different positions in college, making him a versatile option for the Texans. He could line up all over the field. Casey is an athlete, but could take some time adjusting to the NFL. His biggest contributions could come on special teams this season.
