Arkansas DT Malcolm Sheppard (undrafted Rookie)

[nunusguy]

Malcolm Sheppard was one of 16 undrafted rookie free agents to sign with the Texans on May 17. Since that time, the 6-2, 280-pound defensive tackle out of Arkansas has separated himself from the pack.

“Probably the young kid who has surprised me the most through OTAs and everything has been this Sheppard kid that we got from Arkansas,” Texans coach Gary Kubiak said Wednesday, after the final practice of mini-camp. “I’m not trying to put pressure on him or anything, but he’s been a very pleasant surprise. I think he’s going to make a good push for this football team. He’s played extremely hard, very physical, better athlete than we thought coming out. We thought he was going to get drafted but he didn’t, and we were lucky to get him.”
