Bill O'Brien likes Texans' diversity at receiver

Lining up on the perimeter of the defense, Texans Pro Bowl receiver DeAndre Hopkins quickly gets cornerbacks back on their heels with the explosiveness in his patterns.

While Hopkins is an established commodity after a breakthrough season last year in which he caught 111 passes for 1,521 yards and 11 touchdowns, the Texans are breaking in several new wide receivers to work in tandem with him.

"It's interesting," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said. "When you think about that, you have different guys. Some guys like Hopkins who have been in our system now going on three years that know where to line up at every position.
