The Texans have finalized a four-year contract with seventh-round draft pick, center Kyle Fuller, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.

Fuller is a 6-5, 315-pound three-year starter

The Wylie native will be evaluated at center and guard. At the NFL scouting combine, he ran the 40-yard dash in 5.24 seconds and bench pressed 225 pounds 23 times.

The Texans have Nick Martin, a second-round draft pick last year who spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve, at center along with 16-game starter Greg Mancz returning.

"He'll compete for backup jobs at center and guard," coach Bill O'Brien said. "There's going to be some good competition between the young players."
