After that Simon headed to Houston. He spent the majority of his career with the Texans and was much more successful.
Simon played 38 games in Houston and had 75 tackles, 10 sacks. He also forced a fumble and had an interception.
It makes sense that Simon was successful. The Houston Texans had a great defense. Simon was apart of J.J. Watt’s best seasons.
Last season Simon played with the Colts and took a bit of a step back. He is now another player that can have a career rebirth in New England. The Patriots sure need him to.
