HOUSTON — Popular Twitch streamer Sketch will be taking the stage this weekend to announce a draft pick for the Houston Texans, the team announced in a post on X.

The streamer has taken the internet by storm with his signature, "What's up, brother!" while pointing his index finger in the air. Sketch often wears Texans star quarterback C.J. Stroud's jersey. He quickly rose to fame for his unique mannerisms playing games like EA's Madden NFL and Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Siege.

The NFL Draft starts Thursday night at 7 p.m. The Texans have a total of nine picks going into Thursday, though none in the first round unless they make a deal.

"Special teams. Special Plays. Special players," the Texans wrote in a post, referencing one of the streamer's catchphrases.
