Joe Webb

The most intriguing player in the quarterback room, Joe Webb has the versatility that the coaching staff and front office covet.

Playing quarterback, wide receiver, and kick returner in his previous stints in the NFL. Webb has a lot to offer this team if he is able to show that he can execute the offense they envision to use in the regular season.

Webb could bring some intangibles to the table, as well as being a good quarterback to change things up and develop some interesting plack packages around. With his experience at other offensive positions, some sort of Wildcat formation using a combination of Webb and Watson would be interesting to see.

He has a legit shot to make the roster since he spent last season with the Buffalo Bills where current Houston Texans general manager Brian Gaine held the title of VP of Personnel. Gaine wouldn’t have brought Webb with him to Houston if he didn’t believe in his upside.
