Quitoriano opened 2023 as the Texans' second tight end, consistently out-snapping Brevin Jordan through the first seven weeks before a season-ending groin injury. He eventually required surgery but is expected to participate in summer activities. With just 17 career targets in 16 NFL games, Quitoriano is not a serious receiving threat. He'd probably be the team's second tight end if Houston had stood pat; however, the Texans traded up in the fourth round to select Ohio State tight end Cade Stover. If "Ohio State" rings a bell, it's because starting quarterback C.J. Stroud went there and is familiar with Stover. The addition of Stroud's college buddy should force Quitoriano down the depth chart and may cost Jordan his job.
