Weeks has been a member of the Texans since 2010. The 5-10, 248 pound long snapper was undrafted out of Baylor in 2008. After failing to catch on with the Detroit Lions that offseason, Weeks spent the 2008 and 2009 seasons completely out of football.

The Texans signed Weeks in the 2010 offseason, and he has been a staple of consistency with 160 consecutive games played, the most in franchise history.

With the re-signing of Weeks, the Texans are starting to get ready for bigger pushes in free agency.
