After watching NRG Stadium empty out amid a dismal 11-38-1 stretch over the past three seasons, the Houston Texans have already taken steps toward invigorating their fan base in recent months.
The excitement started with the hiring of DeMeco Ryans, a former star linebacker and a highly-regarded young coaching mind, as the team's new head coach. They've also added an array of veterans that should provide a boost to a roster that was one of the NFL's worst last year, and with the No. 2 and No. 12 picks in next month's draft, there's plenty for fans to look forward to in both the immediate and long-term future.
