A.J. Bouye

Undrafted out of UCF in 2013, A.J. Bouye played six games at corner for the Texans as a rookie before seeing his role expand significantly the following two seasons.

Vitals
Height: 6-foot-0
Weight: 191 Pounds
Age: 24
Career tackles: 77
Career interceptions: 5

Buoye started six games in 2014 while appearing in 14 total. He intercepted three passes (returning one for a touchdown) while deflecting another 10. Buoye also proved to be a solid tackler as he took the ball carrier down 59 times.

In 2015 he played in 15 games but only had two starts. His numbers were down simply due to falling down the depth chart after the team drafted Johnson. For the season, Buoye had just 16 tackles but still managed six pass deflections and two interceptions.

Anyone further down the depth chart will have a tough time trying to unseat Buoye as the fourth corner.

2016 season prediction: 20 tackles, 1 interception
