Heat and humidity made for long summer days during the Houston Texans’ training camp. The layout made for an introduction to to the brutal regiment orchestrated by former Texans player and first-year head coach DeMeco Ryans.

Yet, one position group wanted to do more, knowing they would have to prove themselves to new offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, who would have to design the plays for them. Day after day, the wide receivers could be found getting in extra work with rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud or getting tips from defensive backs such as Derek Stingley, Steven Nelson, and Jalen Pitre.
