Good 1st impression made by Kevin Johnson – By Drew Dougherty of HoustonTexans.com

"Bill O’Brien, spoke highly of the Texans’ first-rounder based on what he saw the corner do on the field in the three-day minicamp two weekends ago.“This is a guy that’s a very quick guy,” O’Brien said on a season ticket town hall conference call. “He’s a tall guy. He’s a guy that has really good transition ability. He’s got what I call really good recover transition. If he’s getting beat, he can stick his foot in the ground and really make up a lot of ground.”The former Wake Forest defensive back said during that first week as a professional that he was focused primarily on attention to detail, on and off the field.“From the training room to the classroom to the film study, everything is just more detailed,” Johnson said. “I’m just trying to take it all in and use everything around here and just try and get better.”"

Houston “Hard Knocks” lets NFL put Watt front and center – By Michael David Smith of ProFootballTalk.com

"J.J. Watt is just the kind of player the NFL wants to market, a fierce warrior on the field who turns into an easygoing, likable guy as soon as the game ends. So with process of elimination seeming to leave the Texans as the team that will be featured on this year’s Hard Knocks, it’s a good bet that NFL Films will put Watt front and center.Watt is the NFL’s best defensive player but is not as well known to a mass audience as some of the league’s biggest stars. Hard Knocks is a way for the league to humanize Watt and bolster his popularity."
