Season prediction: Possible practice squad player
The technician, Max Bullough
The son of a Michigan State linebacker, Max Bullough followed his fathers footsteps as a Spartan before becoming a member of the Houston Texans.

Signed as an undrafted free agent in 2014, Bullough is known for his smarts more so than his athleticism. While he won’t pop with his speed or strength, he was considered to be an extension of the coach on the field while at MSU and hopes that his technical skills will translate into eventual NFL success.
After posting 30 tackles in 2015, Bullough has a real chance to make the jump in 2016 and he may be the one person who can convince the team to move on from veteran Akeem Dent if he can show enough improvement.
Season prediction: 35 tackles, 1 interception
