Brandon Weeden Recaps Veteran Minicamp, Could Compete for Starting Spot
Fresh off of an AFC divisional round appearance in 2016, the Houston Texans recently concluded their veteran minicamp in preparation for the upcoming season. Among the camp’s players was former Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden, who now enters his third season with the Texans.
“I have a lot of respect for Weed — he’s had a good spring,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said. “He knows our system a lot better than I felt like he did last year. He’s made a lot of strides, and I really enjoy coaching him.”
Weeden, a seven-year (!) NFL veteran, hasn’t taken a meaningful snap since playing in the final three games of the regular season in 2015. However, he joins former Pittsburgh quarterback Tom Savage and rookie Deshaun Watson as the Texans’ current quarterbacks, and although Savage is the Texans’ projected starter for week one, all three quarterbacks have a chance to prove themselves before the regular season starts.
“We all know the situation,” Weeden said following the veteran minicamp. “I mean, I’m not stupid. I’m an old guy, and I’ve been around the block a couple times and I understand how everything works. But I think that we’d all agree that it’s bigger than us three. I can truly say that all three of us care about each other and want each other to be successful.”
