Texans' Vyncint Smith makes statement in receiver competition

Making a statement in the Texans' roster battle, wide receiver Vyncint Smith caught a touchdown pass against the Detroit Lions.

The 31-yard score on a pass from quarterback Joe Webb is big for Smith.

A year ago, Smith made the Texans as an undrafted rookie as a free agent from Division II Limestone College.

Smith caught a touchdown last season against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Smith is competing with undrafted rookie Tyron Johnson and others for one of the final receiver spots on the 53-man roster.
