MCKINNEY, Texas - Jacques Reeves grew up in the Dallas-area and said he was fortunate to begin his professional career in his hometown where all of his family could see him play.
But while his roots are still here in Dallas, Reeves is now "a Houston guy" and said he couldn't be happier how his career has turned.

"We saw the athlete. We saw the speed and the work ethic and he came in and did a nice job," said Texans general manager Rick Smith. "He was a good fit for our football team, and he's one of the ones that worked out good for us."

Reeves said the mentality in Houston was not only different, but noticeable from the first day he arrived.
"Yeah, we've got a good young team. We're hungry," Reeves said of the Texans, who went 8-8 last year. "The thing I saw when I got down there in Houston, rather than Dallas, we were a young, hungry team. It was real obvious that everyone there was working to get better. It was obvious."
