The Houston Texans front office made a statement to the rest of the AFC when they traded for five-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl 50 champion, Demaryius Thomas. The team was in a very bad place when their second leading player in touchdowns and receptions, Will Fuller, was done for the season with a torn ACL in his right knee.
Thomas isn’t the dynamic vertical threat that Fuller is, but he is a valuable veteran in the locker room that has gone all the way and won a Super Bowl. The Texans needed a receiver that would be capable of making big plays when their number was called and Thomas was able to do that in his debut against his former team.
