The Houston Texans released an interesting video on their official YouTube channel on Monday.
The AFC South club posted a 2:35 video of first-year coach David Culley mic’d up throughout the last session of organized team activities to conclude the team’s eight-week offseason workout program.
“If you looked around and see most of our coaches and you see us with this one right here,” Culley says while pointing to his shirt that says “Team. Team. Team.” “Man, don’t forget that. Just remember that’s what we’re all about. That’s what we’re all about. And you know what, these last four weeks, that’s what we want to find out. And that’s what we are. And that’s what we’re going to be. And when we come back here, that’s what we’re going to be.”
Although quarterback Tyrod Taylor is the only player observed breaking down the end of practice, suggesting he has taken the mantle as unofficial leader of the team, general manager Nick Caserio says it is just an example of one player among many who have shown leadership throughout the offseason workouts.
“I would say we had a number of players who have shown good leadership throughout the spring,” Caserio told “Payne & Pendergast” on Sports Radio 610 on June 14. “All of our practices, and quite frankly it was a different player that broke the team down, but leadership comes in many different shapes and sizes. Everybody can kind of lead in their own way. It’s not necessarily about who is the most vociferous or who is the loudest. I think leadership is about doing. It’s about action. It’s about work. I would say there’s a number of players that fit that classification.
“So, I would say there’s a number of players that fall into that category. Players like Tyrod would certainly be part of that conversation. I would say some other players who have shown that and displayed that through the course of the offseason.”
Culley does bring energy and enthusiasm to the Texans, which is an element they will need as they seek to form a cohesive bond that can help the club rebound from its 4-12 finish in 2020.
