The Texans attended his Pro Day workout and helped run the drills.

Orange (6-foot-2, 322 pounds) was a third-team All-Big 12 Conference selection last season.

He had a 5.1 40-yard dash and bench pressed 225 pounds 27 times at his Pro Day.

Orange had 18 tackles last season, starting every game.

The Kansas City native had 24 tackles, 4 1/2 for losses and a sack as a junior.
