Player Spotlight: Troy Nolan

The Texans may have found themselves a surprise highlight maker in the making.  Texans Free Safety Troy Nolan stood out well enough in the first and second Pre-Season games to earn a spot on the team. In week 4 against the Raiders, he was able to see his first non-special teams action...and he made the most of it by being all over the field and recording two interceptions.  His ability to find the ball and make plays, make him a great asset for this team. Expect Nolan to assume the Free Safety starting position as long as Eugene Wilson is out and perhaps even once Wilson is healthy again. Little is known about this second year guy, but that's why we are featuring him in this weeks Player Spotlight.
