Texan will feel most heat?

A little over four years into his NFL career, Brock Osweiler Zach Britton Jerseyis encountering an offseason he has never known. He's richer. He's more experienced. And most important, he's finally the centerpiece of an NFL franchise.

But Osweiler hasn't just arrived into the spotlight. For the Houston Texans, he is the spotlight.

"He operates like a pro's pro," Texans wideout DeAndre Hopkins said of http://www.officialoriolesstore.com/Weiyin_Chen_JerseyOsweiler. "He comes out and he demands the best out of everybody – offensive line, fullbacks, even the guys that aren't even in the huddle. He's a natural leader."

That's sizable offseason praise in May, with the Texans beginning their third phase of organized team activities and Oswelier still absorbing the offense. But it speaks to the anticipation building in Houston. An offense that was hammered flat by the Kansas City Chiefs in the postseason has retooled the skill positions with an emphasis on speed and quickness, notably adding free-agent running back Lamar Miller and http://www.officialoriolesstore.com/Nick_Markakis_Jerseydrafting wideouts Will Fuller and Braxton Miller.

But the quarterback is expected to illuminate the direction of the franchise, a reality made apparent when team owner Bob McNair directed general manager Rick Smith to work with head coach Bill O'Brien on solidifying the position. The result was a whopping gamble on Osweiler, via a four-year $72 million contract that is expected to fix a consistently underwhelming position during O'Brien's tenure. In turn, it has left Osweiler to take the reins of a franchise that he's known only since March.

"I'm just trying to submerge myself, jump into the deep end Paul Kariya Jerseyand just get to work, just start swimming if you will," Osweiler said this week. "It started [working with the wide receivers at an Osweiler-directed meeting] in Arizona. I take that back – it started with signing with the team and then reaching out to everybody who was on the team via text message. Then bringing those receivers to Arizona, getting to know those guys as people and as athletes. Then coming back and http://www.authenticducksstore.com/mike-santorelli-jersey_c-432.htmlstarting Phase 1 here in Houston and getting to know teammates, doing some things off the field and over the weekends, getting a lot of work in … here at the facility or going over to the University of Houston and throwing routes over there. I've just tried to submerge myself with my new teammates as much as I possibly can, to get to know them as people and then also what this football team is going to be about."
