Texans Trial Huge 6-Foot-9 Tackle Prospect
26 Jul
Summary
- Texans worked out massive 6-foot-9 offensive tackle Dodji Dahoue.
- Dahoue is a raw rookie talent with only five years of football experience.
- He could be a practice squad candidate as an International Player Pathway player.
The Houston Texans are actively evaluating free agents, recently hosting 6-foot-9 offensive tackle Dodji Dahoue for a workout. Dahoue, a raw prospect who did not get drafted, has drawn interest from NFL teams, including a prior stint on the Giants' 90-man roster earlier this offseason before his release.
Dahoue's football journey is unique; born in France and raised in Mali, he only began playing sports upon arriving in the U.S. in the fall of 2021. He spent two seasons at Eastern Michigan, starting five games in 2025 before an injury ended his season. Before college, he attended Santa Rosa Junior College, initially exploring basketball before transitioning to football.
Despite his raw talent and immense size, Dahoue faces an uphill battle for a 53-man roster spot with the Texans, given his limited experience. However, the team may consider him for their practice squad, particularly as an International Player Pathway candidate, following his workout. The Texans, who have had offensive line depth concerns, might see Dahoue as a developmental project if his workout impressed the coaching staff.
