A.J. Bouye

  • 25-years-old
  • 6 feet, 186 pounds

2016 stats (in 15 games with the Houston Texans):

  • 62 total tackles, 1 sack
  • 1 interception, 16 pass breakups

Mainly a backup during the first three years of his career in Houston, Bouye got the opportunity to start in more than half of the Texans games in 2016 due to injuries in the team’s secondary.

He definitely made the most of his increased time on the field last year as he was given the top coverage grade (92.7) and the second best overall cornerback grade (92.5) by Pro Football Focus for his play in 2016.

It would be smart for Houston to keep the young corner on the team for the next few years. But if ends up wanting to sign elsewhere, the Vikings could be in the running to land the talented defensive back.
