Neville Hewitt News
The Houston Texans and free-agent linebacker Neville Hewitt, who led the league in 2023 in special teams tackles, reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a source. In 16 regular-season games (zero starts) last year in his third year with the Texans, Hewitt had 14 tackles (eight solo). The 30-year-old was a standout on special teams but played just four defensive snaps and is unlikely to be a big part of Houston's defense again in 2024. In his nine-year NFL career with the Texans, Miami Dolphins and New York Jets, Hewitt has recorded a total of 440 tackles (284 solo), 7.5 sacks, 22 tackles for loss, 19 QB hits, three interceptions, 13 passes defended, two forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 129 games (44 starts).
The Houston Texans re-signed linebacker Neville Hewitt to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to a source. Hewitt will be returning to the Texans for his third season after finishing last year with 14 tackles (10 solo) in 14 games played (zero starts). Most of the 30-year-old's playing time came on special teams. Originally an undrafted free agent, Hewitt began his NFL career in 2015 with the Miami Dolphins and played three years with them before joining the New York Jets from 2018-20. He's likely to continue mainly as a special-teams contributor, so he won't have any value in IDP fantasy leagues. Hewitt has racked up 426 tackles (276 solo), 7.5 sacks, 22 tackles for loss, 19 QB hits, three interceptions, 13 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in his eight seasons in the league.
The Houston Texans re-signed linebacker Neville Hewitt to an undisclosed one-year deal on Saturday, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Hewitt will return for his second season in Houston after recording 60 tackles (37 solo) in 17 games (five starts) for the Texans in 2021. The 28-year-old played the first three seasons of his career with the Miami Dolphins before joining the New York Jets for three years from 2018-20. His best season came in 2020 with the Jets, when he totaled 134 tackles (91 solo), six tackles for loss, four QB hits, four passes defensed, a fumble recovery and two sacks in 16 starts. Neville has 7.5 career sacks in 99 games (44 starts) over seven NFL seasons and will not be on the fantasy radar in IDP formats.
