New Houston Texans wideout Christian Kirk looking from the outside in

And what do you think he sees?

When you face the Houston Texans twice a year, you get a certain perspective on the team. When you bail on the Jacksonville Jaguars to join the Texans, that perspective evolves. If ya can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, right?

Newly minted Texans slot receiver, Christian Kirk recently stepped to the podium after OTAs and answered all sorts of questions for the local and national media.

The transition has been nothing short of amazing. Everybody in the organization has been welcoming from day one.. Having played at Texas A&M, it’s good to be back. It’s been a long time since I’ve been back in the state of Texas-& now down the street from A&M so definitely looking forward to getting back over there.. It’s been great. We’re laying the foundation. Just been really happy since day one.

The former Arizona Cardinal and Glitter Kitty has amassed 404 catches, 5,176 yards and 29 touchdowns in his 7 NFL seasons.

For comparisons sake, the Texans best pass catcher, Nico Collins, has 218 catches for 3,230 yards and 18 touchdowns in 4 seasons.

Collins is averaging 73 catches for 1077 yards and 6 scores per season.

Kirk is averaging 74 catches for 946 yards and 5 scores per season.

What seemed to get Kirk’s passion flaring was the overall culture of the Texans.

Said it before and will say it again: Demeco Ryans as Head Coach is the best thing that ever happened to this franchise. And, to a “close second” extent, Nick Caserio. Ryans culture and Caserio’s roster building is what brought this wide receiver duo together.

If Collins & Kirk stay healthy, and someone – anyone – on the remaining WR depth chart can step up and play opposite Collins, this passing attack is going to be legendary.

Week 1 can’t get here soon enough!
