As the Texans struggled mightily on offense last season, kicker Nick Novak emerged as their top scoring weapons.
The former San Diego Chargers and University of Maryland kicker connected on a franchise-record 35 field goals and tied for second in the NFL for the most field goals.
He made 16 consecutive field goals late in the season, including five field goals and five touchbacks during a pivotal December win over the Indianapolis Colts that helped the Texans win their second consecutive AFC South title.
Novak has made 93 percent of his field goals inside 50 yards over the past five seasons and connected on 57 percent of his kicks from 50 yards or longer.
