Houston Texans safety Grayland Arnold took the scenic route to getting onto an NFL roster.
The former Kountze High School and Baylor product fell out of the 2020 NFL draft. The 5-10, 187-pound defensive back caught on with the Philadelphia Eagles as a priority free agent, phasing between the team’s practice squad and active roster throughout the regular season.
At the end of the 2021 preseason, Philadelphia cut Arnold. The Texans signed Arnold to the practice squad heading into Week 2 of the regular season.
