Texans' Star-Studded Defense Gets Even Deeper With Former Jets Starter
The Texans have one of the NFL's scariest defenses — and they just made it even deeper, signing a former Jets starting corner.
The Houston Texans bolstered their already star-studded defense by signing former Jets starter Bryce Hall on Monday. Hall, a 6-foot-1, 200-pound cornerback, brings valuable experience to the team. Drafted by the Jets in the fifth round in 2020, Hall missed part of his rookie season due to a severe lower leg and ankle injury. He made an immediate impact upon returning, starting seven of eight games in 2020 and finishing the season with 36 combined tackles, including one for loss, three pass breakups, and an interception.
In 2021, Hall started all 17 games for the Jets, recording 79 combined tackles, four for loss, two quarterback hits, and 16 pass breakups. Despite the Jets' revamped secondary, Hall was phased out in his final two seasons and signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in March 2024, where he suffered a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula, causing him to miss the entire 2024 season.
Hall then played for the UFL's Louisville Kings, winning a UFL Championship in June. Now, with the Texans, Hall has the chance to make an impact on one of the league's deepest defensive units, potentially providing valuable depth for a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
