The Houston Texans are poised for a significant boost in their defensive capabilities following the addition of C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Coming off a pivotal role in the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl victory, Gardner-Johnson's hard-hitting style and aggressive demeanor align perfectly with the Texans' defensive philosophy. His ability to create turnovers, evidenced by his six interceptions last season, should complement the existing talent in Houston's secondary, which already includes standout players like Derek Stingley Jr. and rookie sensation Calen Bullock.

Stingley believes Gardner-Johnson will elevate the Texans' defense to new heights, contributing to a unit that already ranked well in interceptions and passing yards allowed. With a strong core of defenders including Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter, the Texans are optimistic about their chances to disrupt opposing offenses in the upcoming season.
