The Houston Texans have signed linebacker Rosevelt Colvin to a contract.

Colvin is best known for the years he spent with the New England Patriots helping them win Super Bowls and being a part of one of the best linebacking corps in the league.

However, he was released by the team after missing the last five regular season games and all of the postseason with a foot injury.

The linebacker said his passion is rushing the passer and believes it is something he does well. The team hopes he can team with defensive end Mario Williams to torment opposing quarterbacks.
