The Texans auditioned former University of Houston star quarterback Greg Ward Jr. as a wide receiver Saturday at their local prospect workout.
Ward is converting to wide receiver after primarily playing quarterback for the Cougars.
Ward ran the 40-yard dash in 4.48 to 4.52 seconds at his Pro Day, according to NFL scouts. He had a 34 1/2 inch vertical leap and a 9-7 broad jump.
A prolific, undersized quarterback in college, Ward is attempting to forge a niche as a slot receiver at the professional level.
Ward met with several teams, at the NFL scouting combine including the Texans, Dallas Cowboys, Oakland Raiders, Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers.
