STM Take

Four career tier 8 STTM finishes across five NFL seasons puts Togiai in the structural rotational depth band. The Ohio State 4th-round origin plus the multi-team experience gives him basic plug-in veteran depth value. The 2026 question is whether Togiai holds an active-roster spot or whether the role compresses to practice-squad rotation.

Togiai came out of Ohio State as the Cleveland Browns' 4th-round pick (132nd overall) in 2021. He spent three years with the Browns before signing with the Houston Texans in 2024. His STTM career runs tier 8 (#87) rookie, tier 8 (#73) in 2022, tier 8 (#67) in 2024 with Houston, and tier 8 (#63) in 2025.

Strengths

  • Five years of NFL survival as a 4th-round pick across two teams gives him basic plug-in veteran depth value.
  • Ohio State Big Ten 4th-round draft pedigree plus the multi-team experience gives him real developmental floor.

Concerns

  • Four career tier 8 STTM finishes confirms the structural ceiling has rarely climbed above rotational depth.
  • Houston's broader defensive identity around the C.J. Stroud offensive priority compresses the structural support around Togiai.

What to watch: Whether Togiai holds an active-roster spot for the full 2026 season or whether the role compresses to practice-squad rotation.
