TRAINING CAMP NOTES<br />
Preseason Game #3 • Houston Texans vs. New Orleans Saints • Sunday, August 25, 2013<br />
The regular season is weeks away, but the expectations of Houston’s<br />
No. 1 draft pick, WR DeAndre Hopkins, are here already. Hopkins<br />
turned heads during the offseason and given the opportunities available<br />
to first-round draft picks under head coach Gary Kubiak, he’ll have the<br />
chance to do so when the season starts.<br />
Since 2006, the Texans have had seven first-round picks combine to<br />
start 345 of a 364 games in which they’ve played for the team. Five of<br />
those seven have started every game as a rookie:<br />

The Houston Texans signed free agent Joe Mays on<br />
July 30 to bolster the inside linebacker position.<br />
Mays is entering his sixth season after playing the last<br />
three with the Denver Broncos (2010-12). He was traded<br />
to the Broncos from the Philadelphia Eagles where he<br />
spent the first two years of his career (2008-09). He was<br />
Mays<br />
originally drafted by the Eagles in the sixth round (200th<br />
overall) of the 2008 NFL Draft out of North Dakota State.<br />
In Mays’ career, he has appeared in 47 games, with 22 starts and has<br />
totaled 128 tackles (100 solo), 0.5 sacks, one forced fumble and three<br />
passes defensed. In 2012, he appeared in six games and started four<br />
before being placed on injured reserve with a leg injury. In 2011, he<br />
played in all 16 games, starting 12 times and recorded a career-high 74<br />
tackles (63 solo) along with two passes defensed.<br />
