Ryans was announced as the Texans’ head coach back in January after serving as the defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers from 2021-22.
During his first NFL Draft as a head coach, Ryans stayed true to his Alabama roots selecting both Crimson Tide linebackers Will Anderson and Henry To’oto’o.
