Houston Texans: Four players to watch in the preseason opener
By T.A. Mock
Zach Fulton, LG, 73
The Houston Texans acted quickly in order to sign Zach Fulton at the beginning of the offseason. The former Chief held down a spot on their offensive line for the majority of the past four years. He is an absolute monster up front.
Through the first week-plus of training camp, the new Houston Texans guard’s strength has been all the rage. He will surely be one of the strongest guys on the field tonight which, is great for this offensive line that struggled mightily this past season.
Fulton will look to lead the way as this unit seeks to work it’s way back towards the league norm. He provides a very solid, veteran presence on this line that desperately needs one. Fulton is more of the type of guy that leads with actions and not his words. If he can come out and maul tonight, it’ll set the tone for hopefully a much better offensive line.

Fulton, as mentioned earlier, is a former member of the Chiefs. He has extra intrigue tonight as he is facing his former team. He’ll likely want to maul guys even harder in his few snaps because of this.
Offensive line is not an attractive position to play or watch but, this is extremely important to this team as they look to rebound from a 4-12 season. It can be hard to watch a lineman but, Fulton needs to be kept an eye on as a tone-setter up front and the leader of this unit that’ll seek to keep Watson upright. Speaking of which, there is another guy along this line that you’ll need to watch closely as well.
