    That means he was targeted more because he played with them "two elite corners" and held his own!;)

    Yeah...if only players like Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Joe Thomas, Von Miller had never torn their ACLs they may have been able to reach their full potential.

    Aaron Colvin, CB
    The Texans intend to sign cornerback Aaron Colvin, who played the past four years for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Here's a closer look at the signing:

    Grade: A-minus. The Texans desperately needed to upgrade their secondary after the group's fall from the No. 1 passing defense in 2016 to 24th last season. Adding Colvin doesn't mean Houston is done adding at cornerback and this move is a step in the right direction to improving Romeo Crennel's defense.

    What it means: The Texans entered the offseason with Kareem Jackson, 2015 first round pick Kevin Johnson and 2017 fifth-round pick Treston Decoud at cornerback as their best corner a year ago, Johnathan Joseph, is a free agent. Colvin is a slot cornerback, which is the position that Jackson, 29, played primarily for Houston. Bill O'Brien has praised Jackson for his versatility, so it's possible Houston could move the longtime Texans player to safety next season. According to Pro Football Focus, Colvin was the 47th-ranked cornerback in 2017, which was higher than any Texans player at that position.

    What's the risk: Colvin had success last season playing alongside Pro Bowl cornerbacks A.J. Bouye and Jalen Ramsey, so there could be a drop off in play with less elite talent around him. Colvin played in all 16 games last season, but did miss four games in 2016 for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substances policy and another two with an ankle injury.
