When the Texans signed wide receiver Bruce Ellington, his arrival marked his third NFL employer over the past year.
It also involved engaging in a crash course in the Texans' intricate playbook. There was some overlap from similar plays Ellington had run in the past with the San Francisco 49ers, but there was plenty of new terminology.
Ellington is capitalizing on his opportunity so far, catching four passes for 93 yards on five targets during a preseason win Saturday night over the New England Patriots.
"Give Bruce a lot of credit," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said.
