Houston Texans

The Texans’ addition is incumbent upon belief in Ryan Mallet, Bill O’Brien, and what those two can do working together.

The belief is that O’Brien is a talented enough coach to get the job done and there has been plenty of hype surrounding Mallett.

Now, he finally gets his time to shine.

After an impressive 9-7 NFL debut, and with Jadeveon Clowney back healthy (hopefully) and finally a legit talent to build with under center, Houston has pieces in place to improve all around.
