He might also change positions soon.
The 2014 rookie from Vanderbilt logged time at cornerback last season. He spent the offseason in town, putting in hours at the NRG Stadium weight room. With the commencement of OTAs, though, he's also seen action at the safety spot.
"We’ve put Andre Hal there," head coach Bill O'Brien said on Monday. "He’s done some good things at safety over the first four OTAs that we’ve had."
Hal played cornerback in 14 games, notching 15 tackles and defending four passes. A 7th-round pick a year ago in May, he's up for becoming more versatile.
