The Denver Broncos added depth at cornerback and competition at returner this week when they agreed to terms on a two-year deal with defensive back Tremon Smith.
Smith, 26, spent the last two seasons playing for the Houston Texans. Last year, he totaled 22 tackles, four pass breakups and two interceptions in 17 games (two starts) with the Texans.
In addition to getting rotational playing time on defense, Smith returned 19 kickoffs for 417 yards and returned four punts for 53 yards in Houston last year. In Denver, Smith will likely be a top candidate to return kicks for the Broncos this season.
Here are some of Smith’s highlights from his time with the Texans:
