When Texans coach Bill O'Brien scheduled his joint training camp practices, it was done with the idea of introducing his team to excellent competition.
The Texans' top-ranked defense couldn't ask for much more accomplished quarterbacks to work against.
First, the Texans practiced against New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Brady is a 12-time Pro Bowl selection, a four-time Super Bowl Most Valuable Player and a two-time NFL MVP.
Now, the Texans will practice against New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees on Thursday in Louisiana in advance of a preseason game Saturday night. Brees is a Super Bowl champion and MVP and a 10-time Pro Bowl selection.
