The Texans didn’t gave a first-round or second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft as part of their trade-up for quarterback Deshaun Watson in 2017. However, Reid has played as well as a first-round pick. Already a leader of the secondary in just his second year, the Texans found a capable defensive back from Stanford at 68th overall. Whether that is due to Reid’s natural skill or soaking up the knowledge from older brother Eric Reid, the Texans have been the beneficiaries.
