Earlier in the season, I wrote an article called “The Tall Tale of Tom Savage” that covered everything from his recruitment out of high school to how he became the starting QB for the Texans. I will do the same for new staring QB T.J. Yates as he prepares to lead the 4-9 Texans against the 9-4 Jacksonville Jaguars.
T.J. Yates was recruited out of Alan C. Pope High School to play at the University of North Carolina. He was ranked 92nd in a class that featured Matthew Stafford, Tim Tebow, and Sam Bradford.
