Vrabel is coming off his first season as defensive coordinator for the Texans. He played for 14 years in the NFL with Pittsburgh, New England - where he won three Super Bowl titles - and Kansas City before going into coaching.

The 42-year-old started coaching in 2011 at his alma mater, Ohio State, where he coached linebackers and defensive linemen.
