Bouye Makes Early Impression with the Texans
Every season NFL teams have players who come from nowhere to make an impression, and this season for the Houston Texans there are a handful of players taking this step. One of those players is rookie cornerback A.J. Bouye from Central Florida who was left undrafted, but there for the Texans after the 2013 NFL Draft. Bouye, pronounced boy-YAY, was considered an injury risk by NFL teams after he tore his ACL during his junior season on an interception return.

The Risers Coming Out of Texans OTAs
The Houston Texans wrapped up OTAs last week and after 10 practices the team got some quality work done prior to mini-camp.

The seasoned veterans on the team took days off to give some of the younger players some much-needed reps, but overall the team was focused on the task at hand. Even without pads there were some standouts during the 10 days and they showed some solid progression heading into mandatory…
