Tom Savage: "I have to earn it every day"

From his rookie season to now, Tom Savage has been preparing for the chance to win the Texans starting quarterback job. Even as the most experienced quarterback in Bill O'Brien's offense, Savage's approach remains the same.

“It’s a great opportunity,” Savage said Wednesday. “I hate to say it’s special because I have to go out there and I have to earn it every day. It’ll be special at the end of the season.”

Unlike his previous seasons as backup and third-string quarterback, Savage is getting first-team reps in OTAs this offseason, which means more time with the starters and a new approach to developing chemistry.
