Here's everything new Houston Texans defensive back Reed Blankenship said at his introductory press conference with the local media on Wednesday afternoon , including on why he chose the Texans, his thoughts on DeMeco Ryans' defense and an update on his award-winning podcast with former teammate Cooper DeJean. Question: On what ways the Houston Texans showed that they wanted to sign him Reed Blankenship: “Obviously, this is my first time going through free agency, so I really didn't know how it worked. But my agent was giving me live updates and it seemed like Houston was always the top team keeping in contact with my agent.

I guess it's this new thing now where teams have the ability to call five players during the free agency period. I got a call from DeMeco and hearing what he had to say, I could tell that he wanted me, and I could tell that he really liked me as a player. Obviously, we haven't met truly in person, but I feel like he knows what my character is and what my personality is.

You could tell that he really wanted me and really liked me. After we hung up, I was with my wife and I'm like, ‘I really feel like Houston really wants me. ’ That honestly felt like the first time in my whole NFL career that somebody really wanted me as a player and as a person to come and perform for them.

” Q: On what the gist of Head Coach DeMeco Ryans message was to him when they shared a phone call Blankenship: “He was just being real. Obviously, just being your authentic self. He was just telling me about the building, about the place, what they're building.
