The Houston Texans take on the Jacksonville Jaguars to kickoff the regular season Sunday, Sept. 12 at NRG Stadium for the first of 17 games.
The expectation outside of Kirby Drive is the team will be competing more for the No. 1 overall pick than they will for a playoff spot. Maybe even general manager Nick Caserio senses as much as he indicated on Sept. 1 to the media that they are more “process oriented” than “results oriented” at this time.
Nevertheless, the players don’t want to be a part of a losing effort and put bad film of themselves out there for personnel departments to look at in 2022. Here are four Texans who need to excel this season.
