Some position groups on the Houston Texans are better and have more depth than others. The current linebacker corps for the Texans is one of the more complete position groups. The current linebackers on the roster include Christian Kirksey, Kamu Grugier-Hill, Garret Wallow, Christian Harris, Jalen Reeves-Maybin, Blake Cashman, Neville Hewitt, Tae Davis, Jake Hansen and Kevin Pierre-Louis.
Kirksey and Grugier-Hill both started almost every game they were healthy and available to play in 2021 and both players have the best chance to start for the team in 2022. Kirksey was re-signed this offseason to a two-year deal and was the leader of the defense last season.
