Tavierre Thomas played for a variety of defensive coordinators while with the Cleveland Browns from 2018-20, but it wasn’t until he came to the Houston Texans in 2021 that his career started to take off.
The former 2018 undrafted free agent from Ferris State started in eight of 17 games and collected 86 combined tackles, a tackle for loss, a quarterback hit, two interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, a forced fumble, and four pass breakups.
Thomas discovered the secret to getting more playing time under then-defensive coordinator Lovie Smith: be physical.
