The Facts: The San Francisco 49ers traded Pickett to the Houston Texans on Thursday for a conditional draft pick.
Diehards Line:Pickett started two games for the 49ers last season -- and completed a franchise-low one pass in a loss to Chicago. But the former rodeo cowboy and University of Washington star gained his greatest notoriety from a brief stint as a special-teams player covering kickoffs and punts. His role in Houston hasn't been announced.
