WATCH: Former Clemson WR Amari Rodgers catches first career NFL TD

---

Amari Rodgers picked quite a time for his first catch with a new team and reached a career milestone along the way.

Rodgers hauled in a 28-yard grab for his first career touchdown in his first catch with the Texans on Sunday.

The reception from Jeff Driskel's pass helped Houston take a lead over the Dallas Cowboys in the third quarter.

Rodgers was released by the Green Bay Packers earlier this year after issues with fumbling punt returns.

Rodgers came into the game with eight catches for 95 yards at the NFL level, fielding 40 punts for 305 yards along the way.

He was picked in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft by the Packers.
