The Houston Texans spent the 2021 season trying to get upfield to the 2022 offseason when general manager Nick Caserio could use the team’s assortment of premium draft picks and improved cap space to effectively complete a rebuild.
In the meantime, the Texans signed a bevy of veterans to short-term contracts, including cornerback Tavierre Thomas. The former 2018 undrafted free agent from Ferris State was predominantly a special teamer in his first three seasons with the Cleveland Browns. Thomas tallied 892 special teams snaps compared to 223 defensive snaps over three years.
That all changed in 2021.
