The Houston Texans have addressed their need at cornerback in the draft.
With the 141st overall pick in Round 4 of the 2020 NFL Draft Saturday, the Texans selected John Reid from Penn State.
Reid is a ballhawking defensive back that should help the secondary improve its takeaways through the air. Reid also knows how draw incomplete passes as he produced 24 career pass breakups with the Nittany Lions.
At the NFL combine, Reid showed off a little bit of his speed with a 4.49 time in the 40-yard dash. At the combine, Reid had plenty of informal interviews, but he did not indicate whether or not he had any formals in Indianapolis.
The Texans currently have Bradley Roby, Gareon Conley, Cornell Armstrong, Vernon Hargreaves, Keion Crossen, and Phillip Gaines on the roster at cornerback. Reid will provide competition and depth.
