25 observations from Day 4 of #TexansCamp – by John Harris, HoustonTexans.com
"1. Sometimes stretching is all I get to see early in practice and I can tell what kind of day it’s going to be based on one man – Akeem Hunt. A couple of days ago, someone hijacked the playlist and pressed “1980s hair metal”. Hunt? Nothing. No excitement. Nada. Today? The playlist included some DJ Khaled and Jay Z and he went into full on dance party mode. In fact, he wasn’t the only one.2. Texans Senior Director of Digital Media Eric SanInocencio texted me during stretching…”that’s Observation of the Day”. Initially, I wasn’t exactly sure what he meant, then I looked up when “I Got the Keys” came on and Hunt wasn’t the only one. Jadeveon Clowney was bopping up and down and mouthing the words. Charles James lip synced and danced as well. Akeem? Yeah, he broke out the repertoire of moves for certain."
