Houston Texans: Exploring Eric Reid’s potential defensive role

The Houston Texans would be the next destination of Eric Reid’s career if it were up to his younger brother Justin Reid. Texans starting safety has made his case for head coach and general manager Bill O’Brien to reconnect both brothers under one football team. The former 2013 Pro Bowl safety was recently waived by the Carolina Panthers’ new coaching staff, who also removed several other key veterans on the roster that included quarterback Cam Newton.

Reid, 28, is still a young player in the prime of his career that can contribute to a depleted defensive team like the Houston Texans that finished at the bottom of the league in several defensive statistics.
