How Houston Texans are impacted by Jim Irsay's slip of the tongue
SAY WHAT?
15 February 2023
The Indianapolis Colts held a press conference on Tuesday to announce Shane Steichen as the team's new head coach. But the big takeaway from the presser had little to do with Steichen.
Owner Jim Irsay caught everyone's attention when he discussed the possibility of trading up in the draft, and said the team is looking for a young QB. To go even further, Irsay referenced Bryce Young saying, “Although the Alabama guy doesn't look bad.”
So what do we make of his comments? Should we take him at his word, or is he giving the appearance that the team likes Young, hoping it will incentivize the Texans to spend extra draft capital to trade up and secure Bryce Young?
