Breaking down the Texans draft haul

Justin Reid is an athletic safety out of Stanford, and he will immediately compete for a starting spot on defense. Reid tested well at the combine and was considered by many to go in the first round.

He has great NFL bloodlines as he is the younger brother of Pro-Bowler and former 49ers safety Eric Reid.

With Tyrann Mathieu being brought in free agency to start, Reid will be competing with Andre Hal for the remaining starting spot at safety.

He brings much needed depth at safety and he is in a invaluable position having the “Honey Badger” as a mentor in his first season in the NFL.
