HOU Keylan Rutledge
NFL offensive lineman. Position: LG (Left Guard). Team: Houston Texans.
Quick Facts
- Position: LG (Left Guard)
- Team: HOU (Houston Texans)
- Draft: 2026 NFL Draft
2026 Outlook
Rookie left guard for the Texans, protecting C.J. Stroud's blind side. Early season production through Week 3 has been underwhelming, with 12 allowed pressures (second-most among qualifying linemen with 40+ pass-blocking snaps). Contributing to Houston's 30th-ranked pass-blocking win rate (42%) according to ESPN Analytics. Rutledge has not distinguished himself as a run blocker either. Development curve is typical for a young offensive lineman, but he hasn't met early expectations to help stabilize the Texans' already-shaky pass protection.
