Football Betting Lines

07/30/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Texans have reportedly agreed to terms with cornerback Kareem Jackson, the team's first-round pick in the 2010 draft.

The Houston Chronicle is reporting that the deal with Jackson, the 20th overall selection, is for five years.

He spent his college career with Alabama and in 2009 he tied for third in the SEC with nine passes defensed and also had one interception.

Jackson is expected to start opposite Glover Quin as Houston's top cornerback last season, Dunta Robinson, signed with Atlanta as a free agent.

The Chronicle is also reporting that running back Ben Tate, Houston's second- round pick, has agreed to terms.

Taken 58th overall, Tate totaled 1,362 yards on 263 carries with 10 touchdowns for Auburn in 2009. He finished his career at the school with 3,321 yards on the ground, good for fifth all-time in Auburn history.
