HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans checked off a key box when they hired former Texan DeMeco Ryans to be their next coach. Now, Ryans and general manager Nick Caserio will have to focus on the biggest task remaining: Finding the quarterback of the future.
Whoever becomes the next starter in Houston will have to compete in the quarterback-loaded AFC for a franchise that has been searching for its answer at the position since Deshaun Watson requested a trade after leading the NFL with 4,823 passing yards during the 2020 season.
