The Houston Texans have become a place for defensive backs to sign short-term deals, and cornerback Steven Nelson is no different.
The former Kansas City Chiefs 2015 third-round pick signed a two-year deal with the Texans worth $9 million in free agency. Nelson believes Houston is getting a cornerback that can infuse leadership.
“Leadership, experience, just being a guy that’s been there, been out there, playoff teams and just being in that atmosphere,” Nelson told reporters June 7 after organized team activities at Houston Methodist Training Center. “As you know we have a lot of young talent on the team so just kind of being able to be there and lead by example as much as I can.”
