Given a choice between seeing the home of history world power and running some non-contact drills in June, Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler said the choice was easy.
According to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, Osweiler said he’d have joined his former Broncos teammates at the White House today, if the Texans didn’t have OTAs scheduled.
“I believe every single practice, every single rep, every single meeting I can get in this new offense is the most important thing,” Osweiler said.
Setting aside the possibility that our nation’s football culture has conditioned some to believe that’s true, it’s hard to imagine that Osweiler won’t eventually regret this decision.
The awkwardness over his departure from the Broncos was certainly a factor, but he wouldn’t have been the only former Bronco there.
New Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan will be there, even joking about the Broncos booking him a ticket in coach.
But apparently a day of unpadded practice in Texas was more important.
