Tom Savage has waited a long time for this moment, far too long to become complacent now that the Texans’ starting quarterback job is within his grip.
After dealing with a myriad of injuries, plenty of time watching from the bench and absorbing coach Bill O’Brien’s complex playbook, Savage is determined to maintain his new status as the Texans’ latest QB.
Even though the organization reaffirmed that he remains atop the depth chart after trading a pair of first-round draft picks to land multidimensional Clemson All-American quarterback Deshaun Watson, Savage has no plans to relax.
“Listen, I’m going to go out there and I’m going to play like I have to play to keep this job,” Savage said.
