Road to the Pros: Watch Henry To’oTo’o get his NFL Draft call from the Houston Texans
After relying on family throughout his life, it was fitting that Henry To’oTo’o got to achieve his NFL dream at home surrounded by loved ones.
During the third day of the NFL Draft, To’oTo’o hung up a phone call and looked up to smiling cousins, his mom and dad.
“We’re Texans,” To’oTo’o said after being selected 167th overall in the fifth round.
In the final episode of this edition of Road to the Pros, AL.com’s Emmy-winning documentary series, watch as To’oTo’o talks with Houston head coach and Tide alum DeMeco Ryans and owner Cal McNair. Featuring interviews with To’oTo’o, his family, his old coaches and teammates, watch as To’oTo’o reacts to his draft slot and the opportunity he has moving forward.
“It means so much to me to be with people that I love,” To’oTo’o said. “We’ve been through so much as a family. We’ve shared a lot with other people about where we come from, how we’re not supposed to be here right now. … It’s huge. It’s just a blessing.”
Episode one dove into the To’oTo’o family background and the inspiration Henry found in his parent’s resolve. To’oTo’o then covered his transfer from Tennessee to Alabama in episode two and the recruiting pitch Nick Saban made to him the second time. Last week, To’oTo’o offered a look into his preparation for the NFL Draft.
