Houston Texans made a bold move in their roster cutdowns from 90 to 53 players when they opted to retain the rookie punter Trevor Daniel over veteran Shane Lechler the past preseason and training camp. Daniel was favored throughout the process, and rightfully so as he held his own throughout the preseason.
Despite going undrafted in 2018 and entering his first season in the league, Daniel did a great job throughout the regular season of helping his punting coverage and kept the opposing punt returners at bay with long high punts. The Texans’ special teams did not allow a single opposing team to return a punt for a touchdown throughout the entire span of the season.
