The Houston Texans have Whitney Mercilus for his ninth season which is great for the younger players on the roster.
Having outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus on the roster for his ninth season — all with the Houston Texans — the defense should be great with leadership and mentoring for the 2020 NFL season.
The Texans will need both of those traits from their veteran players after the wacky offseason that has happened thus far for the NFL due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Mercilus is one of those players who is a leader on the Houston Texans defense.
