The Texans ranked seventh in the league and above average in all categories. The players specifically identified the food program and dietician as among the best in the league, with both ranking in the top five. Players could not single out a specific area of improvement, players suggested upgrades to the training area to improve recovery.
OVERVIEW
The Houston Texans have been on the brink of taking down the AFC heavyweights, falling just short against the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL Divisional Round. The organization was sure to address any needs this past offseason, doubling-down at several spots via the draft. With a re-worked supporting cast on offense and improved depth on defense, the Texans are capable of competing with any team on a weekly basis. Houston general manager Nick Caserio has been one of the more accurate decision-makers, since taking over the helm in 2023. They will enter 2025 as the clear division favorites and deservedly so.
