HOUSTON – The Texans drafted University of Michigan tight end Marlin Klein in the second round.
A 6-foot-6, 248-pound native of Germany, Klein moved to the United States to attend a boarding school in Rabun Gap, Georgia to start playing American football. This was done through the assistance of Gridiron Imports Foundation, a registered United States nonprofit organization. He attended the Rabun Gap-Nacooche School.
He caught a career-high six passes for 93 yards and one touchdown against New Mexico last season.
At Michigan, he won a national championship. He caught 24 passes for 248 yards and one touchdown.
Two seasons ago, Klein caught 13 passes for 108 yards.
Klein has run the 40-yard dash in 4.61 seconds with a 36-inch vertical leap and a 9-9 broad jump.
