Bengals send James Casey to Houston’s pro day

Houston University had its pro day on Thursday, and while most teams sent their head coaches or various defensive coach, the Bengals sent their tight end coach James Casey.

That may seem like an odd choice at first, but when you consider how connected Casey is with football in Houston, it makes a little more sense.

As Mark Berman alludes to, Casey has spent quite a long time in Houston. He essentially played football there from 2007 (when he played at Rice) until the 2012 season when he and the Texans parted ways.
