With most of the accolades on the Houston Texans defense going to the likes of J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney and Johnathan Joseph — and deservingly so — another player to not forget about this offseason as all the new faces join the roster is defensive lineman D.J. Reader.
Reader is entering his fourth season with the Texans and has been one of those players on the cusp of breaking the mold and really becoming a force for the Texans as he has the abilities to be a difference maker on the defensive line, plus he’s a durable player as he started in 30 of the past 32 regular-season games for the Texans.
