Johnathan Joseph

The veteran of the group, Johnathan Joseph came to the team in 2011 after spending his first five seasons playing for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Vitals
Height: 5-foot-11
Weight:  188 Pounds
Age: 32
Career tackles: 553
Career interceptions: 26

Joseph consistently gets a high number of tackles, including a career high in 2014 when he had 75 tackles (70 of which were solo). He’s also recorded an interception in every season since his second year in the league.

A first-round pick in 2006 Joseph has made two Pro-Bowls and was named to the 2011 NFL All-Second team. He’s lost a step as his age is catching up with him but he should have at least one more season in him, which is probably all the Texans are expecting from him.

2016 season prediction: 55 tackles, 2 interceptions

Next: The sophomore
