NFL Free Agency: 10 players the Houston Texans should target
By Randy Gurzi
8. James Hanna, TE Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys tight end James Hanna is a seldom used player, but that isn’t because of lack of skill. The former sixth-round pick out of Oklahoma has excellent speed for the position and doesn’t sacrifice size to get that speed.
At 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds, Hanna has prototypical size for an NFL tight end. He spent most of his time in Big D as a blocking tight end, catching only 33-passes during that span/
Still, even with his limited role in the passing game, Hanna started 29 games despite the team using a second-round pick in 2013 on another tight end Gavin Escobar.

In Houston, the tight ends usually have a low number of receptions and are valued more for their blocking. Hanna could provide excellent blocking while also offering plenty of untapped potential as a receiving threat as well.
