Houston Texans decided to place rookie wide receiver Jester Weah to the IR for them to have an open roster spot to sign free agent Cyril Grayson this week.
The signing is an intriguing considering Grayson had no football experience in his time in LSU. Grayson was attending LSU as a track-and-field athlete. Grayson was signed as free agent by the Seattle Seahawks after he didn’t necessarily qualify for the NFL Draft since he never played the sport.
Robert Flemko of Sports Illustrated paints a better picture of how foreign football was to potential football prospect Grayson:
He was an All-America sprinter for the Tigers who had worked out with the LSU football team for a spell.
