The Houston Texans should be looking to use Jacob Martin on defense more than they did a season ago.

With the season-ending ACL injury to Houston Texans linebacker Duke Ejiofor this training camp, head coach Bill O’Brien should now be looking to utilize the skills of Jacob Martin for the 2020 season and beyond to possibly take over the role held by Ejiofor.

Martin didn’t have the opportunity to do much with the Houston Texans defense last season, playing in just 21 percent of the defensive snaps in 2019, which was just his second season in the NFL.
