Houston saw a need to fix their anemic pass rush and addressed the issue with third-round outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard from Florida. Along with defensive end J.J. Watt and outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus, Greenard will join outside linebackers Brennan Scarlett, Jacob Martin, Duke Ejiofor, and defensive end Charles Omenihu in providing reinforcements for first-year defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver.
