Why Jerod Mayo is using Texans’ turnaround to ‘kind of’ plead patience on Patriots rebuild

While many Patriots fans have pointed to the Texans’ turnaround in 2023 as a reason for hope in 2024, Jerod Mayo wants people to know how Houston got to that point.

Speaking to season-ticket holders recently, Mayo pointed to the work that Patriots executive Nick Caserio put in over his first two seasons with the Texans as a big reason why they made the postseason with a rookie quarterback in 2023.

“Remember, Caserio had been building that team for [two] years before they got C.J. Stroud in that position,” Mayo said, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
