HOUSTON -- When Houston Texans general manager Brian Gaine talked about the signing of free-agent safety Tashaun Gipson, he mentioned another important player in the secondary:
“We also think his skill set complements Justin Reid very well,” Gaine said.
Reid, a third-round pick in 2018, played so well as a rookie that not only do the Texans think he can take a big jump forward and be a leader in the secondary in his second season, but in some ways, they are building the unit around him.
The Texans’ secondary will have a lot of new faces this season after Houston lost defensive backs Tyrann Mathieu and Kareem Jackson in free agency and safety Andre Hal retired in April.
