The Houston Texans locked up the AFC South this past weekend, thanks to losses by both the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts. Despite the fact that they have a huge question mark at the quarterback spot, the Texans continue to scrape by teams thanks to the play of their defense. They are going to have to step up big time if they wish to make a serious run through the playoffs this January, though they have shown the ability to win games when they appeared counted out.

Florida cornerback Teez Tabor is one of the best cover men in college football, and bringing him into a defense that is already solid would be a good move by the Texans organization. They do have some age at the cornerback position, and adding depth to the position is very important, especially in the division they play in. Houston has to defend quarterbacks like Marcus Mariota and Andrew Luck four times a year, so having a strong defensive secondary has to be priority No. 1.

Tabor has a true blend of size and speed, and has teamed with Quincy Wilson to form the best cornerback tandem in the SEC over the past two seasons. Tabor is going to wait until after the holidays to make a decision on whether to return for his senior season, but the odds are that he is coming out. Tabor had four interceptions this past season, including one returned for a touchdown, and definitely lived up to his preseason All-America ranking,
