Houston had high hopes for DeVier Posey once upon a time. The Texans’ third-round pick back in 2012, Posey was supposed to become a big part of the Houston aerial attack.

Unfortunately, the physical wide receiver never panned out. Posey caught just 22 passes in parts of three injury-plagued seasons, which included tearing his Achilles in a playoff loss following his rookie campaign.

The Texans gave up on Posey in 2015, dealing him to the Jets as part of the package which brought the draft pick which became Jaelen Strong in return. Posey didn’t even survive his first preseason in New York and has not played in the NFL in the last two years.

Now healthy, Posey appears to have found a new home north of the border. He made quite an impression in his debut with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League on Sunday night.

Posey hauled in 7 passes for 147 yards and a touchdown in the Argos’ 32-15 win over Hamilton in the season opener for both clubs. His touchdown catch was a doozy. No. 85 snagged a pass from QB Ricky Ray and broke some tackles on the way to a 79-yard score on the first play of the second half.

It wasn’t all ideal for the ex-Texan. Posey dropped another pass in the end zone earlier in the game. Even so, it’s nice to see the former Ohio State standout healthy and doing a little to validate the Texans’ one-time bullish scouting on his pro potential.
