ESPN’s Adam Schefter mentioned in one of his posts, “Texans and free-agent linebacker Neville Hewitt, who led the NFL in special teams tackles last season, reached agreement on a one-year deal to return to Houston, per source.”
Special teams coordinator Frank Ross had earlier shared via Click2Houston regarding Hewitt, “Kind of a tone setter — I think three special teamers ran the fastest in that game. Our two gunners ran 20.7 and 20.8 mph. I believe and then Neville Hewitt ran 20.1. That dude was humming and have you ever seen Neville Hewitt? You don’t want to get in front of him if he’s running 20 miles per hour, so he is a juggernaut when he gets going. Man, nobody sells out harder, so proud of where he’s at.”
He has played 129 games in his career and posted 440 tackles, 19 quarterback hits, and 7.5 sacks. In 2023, he registered a team-high 14 tackles. He played 129 games with his earlier three teams.
