a veteran Houston interior anchor with old-school nose-tackle grit
Cody Pree brings value as a rugged, space-eating interior defender for Houston, listed by ESPN as a defensive tackle and by Houston athletics as a nose tackle. In the 2005 season, ESPN’s stat line shows 45 total tackles with 23 solo stops and 1 forced fumble, suggesting a player who could hold up in the middle and finish plays rather than just occupy blockers. If you want a stout, physical DT who adds toughness and leverage inside, he fits the mold; the big question for any roster is whether his impact comes more from dirty-work disruption than flashy backfield stats.
