Key Texans position battle should come down to these two players

The Texans have two stud starters at linebacker for their base 4-2-5 defense in Azeez Al-Shaair and Christians Harris. Al-Shaair is a new addition at the position after the departures of Denzel Perryman and Blake Cashman, while Harris blossomed in his second year in the NFL with Houston. Behind the top duo are eight other linebackers set to compete to start as the third linebacker in 4-3-4 looks and be the top backups to Harris and Al-Shaair.
