The Houston Texans have a diverse group of outside linebackers for the upcoming 2020 regular season.

The Houston Texans have an interesting group of outside linebackers heading into next season after reinforcing the position in the 2020 NFL Draft. Houston hit a rough patch last season at outside linebacker after trading Jadeveon Clowney to the Seattle Seahawks. Whitney Mercilus took his place on the defense as one of the edge rushers alongside J.J. Watt after being utilized more as an off-ball linebacker in the previous seasons.
