This Saturday, the East-West Shrine Game will take place at the Trop, the home of the Tampa Bay Rays. Most people think of the Senior Bowl as the one and only postseason all-star game and it’s the one most players want an invitation to attend. But, the Shrine Game has been good to the Texans the past few seasons.
Last year’s game included future Texans LSU RB Kenny Hilliard, Bowie State TE Khari Lee (subsequently traded to the Bears), Michigan State WR Keith Mumphery and Toledo C Greg Mancz. The previous year’s game included current starting safety Andre Hal from Vanderbilt, Michigan State ILB Max Bullough and two players the Texans signed as undrafted college free agents - former Texans Bloomsburg’s own Matt Feiler and North Dakota State CB Marcus Williams.
