I've never been around a successful one who wasn't genuine.

three names maybe different levels parker washington antonio johnson and matt dickerson now great by the end of the year matt dickerson was if not a starter a rotational guy on the defensive line antonio johnson nobody really knew last february if he was gonna have a role on the team and and uh parker washington was number four receiver in otas uh major those

The three guys will play a lot next year.

Parker and Antonio may be second contract guys.

And that speaks to what you're talking about.

There's no preconceived notions with this bunch.

Hey, if you were drafted fourth round, whatever, whatever you did before, it's as much a key to what they did last year as anything.

The Texans, we all know the teams.
