It’s no secret that the Houston Texans believe in defense first, offense later. And although much of the teams’ impending success will rely on the position battle occurring under center, the front office is still very much active in giving the defense every opportunity to add some new faces and upgrade overall. Defensive tackle Brandon Deaderick has now become one of those faces.
Only playing 344 snaps of defense last year on the Saints, who found it difficult to consistently stop the run, he’s nowhere near a guaranteed spot on the Texans’ roster but he’ll have the rest of the offseason to make his case.
