HOUSTON -- Now that the Houston Texans finally have their franchise quarterback in Deshaun Watson, new general manager Brian Gaine’s goal this offseason should be protecting him, their most valuable asset and key to success moving forward.
The Texans had the worst offensive line in the NFL in 2017, according to Pro Football Focus. The unit gave up 252 total pressures, which is the second-most allowed over the past 12 seasons.
In the seven games before he tore his ACL, Watson completed 61.8 percent of his passes for 1,699 yards for 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
