The Houston Texans have added another member of their nine-player draft class to their payroll.
The Texans announced Friday they have signed seventh-round safety Brandon Hill to a standard four-year rookie contract.
General manager Nick Caserio told reporters on April 29 after the draft that Hill “fits the profile” for what new coach DeMeco Ryans wants to install on defense.
“Fast, tough, explosive, urgent, 5-10, 195,” Caserio said. “Got a good playing style, tough. Things that DeMeco wants to emphasize on defense, he sort of fits the profile. Probably a little better closer to the line of scrimmage. We’ll see where he fits in some other spots.”
