The Texans sign rookie wide receiver DeVier Posey, who becomes the seventh of the eight draft picks this offseason to sign with the team. Posey was the third round pick of the Texans in the 2012 NFL Draft, taken with the 68th overall pick out of Ohio State. He ranked seventh in Ohio St. history with 136 receptions, and was eighth with 1,955 yards receiving in his four-year career for the Buckeyes.
