The newcomer to Jacksonville last season put forth a fantastic 2017, posting 56 tackles and career highs with 18 passes defensed and six interceptions after spending his first four seasons in Houston. The soon-to-be 27-year-old and partner-in-crime Jalen Ramsey form one of the best cornerback duos in the NFL, forcing opposing offenses to pick their poison on the outside. Bouye and Ramsey are poised to be two of the top corners in the league once again, with the Jaguars elite defense returning all of their significant contributors from last season.

The Jaguars poached Bouye away from the division-rival Texans in free agency, and he'll step into a starting spot at cornerback opposite Jalen Ramsey. Bouye notched just one pick last season, but he registered 16 passes defended to go with 63 combined tackles.

Bouye had 59 tackles and a pick-six last season as a fill-in starter when injuries hit cornerbacks Jonathan Joseph and Kareem Jackson. His spot on this year's depth chart was impacted when Houston selected a cornerback -- Kevin Johnson -- in the first round of the 2015 draft.

Bouye played a minor role in the Texans' secondary in 2013, getting credit for two solo tackles before his season ended due to a hamstring injury. He's looking at a similar role entering the 2014 season, though it's not a certainty he sticks with the roster. The Texans like him and Bouye's showed good instincts defending passing routes.
