The Houston Texans just signed former Philadelphia Eagle safety, read Blankenship, to bolster their defense. This 27-year-old brings solid experience from four seasons in Philly, where he started 22 games last year alone. Teams like the Texans see themselves as one play away from a Super Bowl run, so adding proven veterans makes perfect sense. Houston ship steps in as a steady hand for a unit already among the league's best. Players and coaches value his quiet leadership more than flashy energy. He's the type who leads by example on the field, using smarts to replays rather than hype up the locker room. His game fits right into head coach Domeco Ryan's system, focusing on instincts and positioning over raw power. Early reports suggest he's already meshing well in offseason workouts. His training cam ramps up. Blankenship could be the glue that pushes Houston even further toward contention this fall.
