Texans veteran offensive tackle Tytus Howard has been named the 2023 Black College Football Pro Player of the Year by the NFL Players Association, the union for NFL players.
The award is presented annually to an NFL player who attended a historically black college and university.Howard allowed just three sacks and five quarterback hits last season as he returned to his natural right tackle position.
How Howard performed last season reinforced his status as one of the top right tackles in the NFL and set the stage for a potential hefty long-term financial commitment from the AFC South franchise. One year after securing Howard’s services for the 2023 season with a $13.2 million fifth-year club option, the Texans are poised to possibly reward the former first-round draft pick from Alabama State and make him one of the highest-paid offensive tackles in the game.
Like all contract talks, it will ultimately come down to price as the market for elite right tackles continues to rise. The Kansas City Chiefs signed former Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor to a four-year, $80 million contract that includes $60 million guaranteed with an $18.9 million signing bonus. Taylor, a former first-round draft pick from Florida, allowed five sacks and had seven penalties with 16 pressures allowed last season and now makes $20 million annually.
Although the Texans are coming off a 3-13-1 season that triggered the dismissal of coach Lovie Smith, the tackle position is fortified with Tunsil and Howard.
