The Texans have won the AFC South in consecutive seasons, but judging by the way their quarterback position was evaluated in the offseason, you wouldn’t know it.
Need more proof? With coach Bill O’Brien showering praise on Deshaun Watson earlier this week, Houston is looking at the possibility of starting a rookie behind center in Week 1.

A secondary chock-full of experienced playmakers is gaining another veteran.
Tramon Williams has agreed to terms with the Arizona Cardinals, the team announced Sunday.
Williams spent the last two seasons in Cleveland, signed as a major addition at corner. The former Packers standout instead struggled in coverage, missed five games and intercepted just two passes in two seasons combined.
