Texans draft Nebraska DE Jared Crick 126th overall

With the 126th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Texans have selected Nebraska defensive end Jared Crick.

Crick (6-4 279) had 9.5 sacks in 2009 and 2010 but missed most of his senior season with a torn pectoral muscle. He’ll add depth behind defensive ends J.J. Watt and Antonio Smith.

Crick was the Texans’ third pick in the fourth round, following Georgia center Ben Jones (99th overall) and Michigan State wide receiver Keshawn Martin (121st).
