TEXAS A&M
Cullen Gillaspia is the first Texas A&M 12th Man to be selected in the NFL Draft. He’s already received a prominent welcome to Houston on social media.
JJ Watt was quick to welcome Gillaspia to the hometown Texans. Watt was particularly excited to see Houston draft another former walk-on.
Gillaspia was quick to acknowledge the megastar’s tweet. You can also watch the Houston’s native reaction to being drafted below. He went in Round 7, No. 220 overall.
Couldn’t be happier! Ready to get to work! I’m staying home Houston! https://t.co/di7UgdFltK

JJ Watt is such a class act. Congratulations to Gillaspia. From walk on to being drafted. Admirable work ethic and determination.
I couldn’t be more happy for Cullen.
