No. 3: Cornerback Aaron Colvin

No, I don’t just like Aaron Colvin because he has an awesome first name. He is a very solid cornerback that helped propel the Jaguars to their recent deep playoff run in the AFC.

Colvin is a tough cornerback who can make open-field tackles and cover well utilizing his incredible ball-awareness skills, which is really everything that you want in a cornerback. He is versatile and can play in the slot or on the outside, due to his quick speed and smarts.

By signing Colvin, the Houston Texans are acquiring a very solid piece to a secondary unit that struggled most of the year last season.

With the addition of Colvin and the Honey Badger, Tyrann Mathieu, the Texans defense will be one that offenses will not want to face in 2018.
