HOUSTON (AP) -A month ago, safety Bernard Pollard was looking for a job.
The Houston Texans gave him a shot and it’s paid off. Pollard has made 19 tackles in three starts and become a key piece of Houston’s improving defense.
The Texans had an idea of what they were getting in Pollard with defensive backs coach David Gibbs having worked with him in Kansas City for the last three seasons.
Still, the Texans have been impressed with how quickly he’s been able to contribute.
Pollard is perhaps best known for delivering the hit that ended Tom Brady’s season last year. But he started each game for the Chiefs in 2008 and led the team with 98 tackles.
He found himself suddenly out of work when Kansas City released him before the season.
