Colvin spent his entire career so far with the Texans' rivals Jacksonville Jaguars.
Colvin was used mostly in nickel schemes for the Jags defense. For his career, Colvin, a former Oklahoma Sooner, has 138 tackles, five sacks, and one interception, which was earned in Jacksonville's wild card round win against the Bills this past playoffs.
