Houston has reached the playoffs in all 3 of To'oTo'o's seasons — and he's been part of every postseason snap. His 2025 playoff line of 6 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 QB hit is his most disruptive postseason performance.
13 career playoff tackles across 3 Texans postseason runs is rare longevity for a 5th-round pick.
Pass rush production grew from 0 sacks in 2023 to 4.0 across 2024-2025.
SplitAs a pure thumper LB, the pass-rush numbers were never going to be the headline. But To'oTo'o's growth is real: 0 sacks in 2023 → 1.5 in 2024 → 2.5 in 2025.
The 4 career QB hits in 2025 alone match his entire 2023-24 total combined. DeMeco Ryans' scheme has steadily expanded his blitz responsibilities, and he's converting.
95+ tackles in 2 straight seasons — top-12 NFL LB pace.

To'oTo'o's 95 combined tackles in 2025 isn't top-5, but his 100/95 across 2024-25 is the kind of two-year baseline that confirms a true starting middle linebacker, not a flash.
The Texans drafted him 167th overall. He's outperformed his draft slot by 3 rounds, easy, and projects as a future $10M+ AAV extension candidate.
249 combined tackles in 45 career games — 5.5/game pace from a 5th-round pick.

249 combined tackles in 45 games is a 5.5/game pace — extrapolated to 17 games that's 94 tackles per season, a true 1st-team starter rate.
Add 18 career TFLs and 9 PDs, and the profile becomes a complete three-down LB. The Texans' run defense improved each year of his career, and his rapidly expanding tackle radius is a major reason why.
