Manning moves in free agent scramble

August 5, 2011 by Austin Gwin

ACU is beginning to spread out around the NFL as another team is now represented by a Wildcat.

Former Chicago Bear and free agent Danieal Manning has signed a deal with the Houston Texans. Manning, a safety, will look to stabilize what has been a shaky secondary the past few seasons.

The Texans didn’t just bolster their pass coverage with Manning, though, as they also signed top-tier cornerback Jonathan Joseph from the Cincinnati Bengals.

Former Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips will be in charge of fostering these two young talents in Houston as the Texans made him their new defensive coordinator this year.

With Manning moving to the Texans, ACU now has a hand in five NFL organizations across the country including the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cowboys, Bears, Bengals and Texans.

"Ending my college education early was always the plan for me, but the things that I have been able to see, experience and examine about ACU’s community were not. I have found immense growth in ACU over the past three and a half years, but ACU still has a long road to climb if it wants to keep catering to students as the world changes around them."
