Houston Texans defensive back Andre Hal has surprisingly announced his retirement from the NFL after being drafted in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft. With Hal’s departure, former 2014 first overall pick, Jadeveon Clowney is the sole player left from Texans 2014 draft class. Hal came into the league as a cornerback from Vanderbilt but made the transition to safety in his second season in the league.
He was able to extend his career in the NFL playing at free safety and gave the Texans a defender adept in coverage and able to get his hands on the football.
