Examining Case Keenum’s bold comments about mentoring Houston Texans rookie

REAL TALK

Houston Texans QB Case Keenum was recently asked about mentoring rookie QB CJ Stroud, and he talked about this being the time of year when roles get defined. Texans OTAs begin Monday, May 22. Keenum said first and foremost his focus is on getting ready to play.

He's also in the process of learning the names of his teammates, as well as getting comfortable with the new playbook. So Keenum has a lot on his plate as he prepares for another season. Keenum later acknowledged he's willing to do whatever it takes to help the Texans win games, which can look different in different situations.

Whether it's sharing wisdom or being asked to play, he's ready to help the team in the best way he can.

Be sure to watch the video above as we discuss how this dynamic could play out over the course of the season.

The Houston Texans came into this draft with many anticipating they would trade up to address their need on the offensive line. Instead, the Texans elected to trade back to pick No. 34 after agreeing to a deal with the Giants.

The Texans also receive pick number 99, and a 2026 third-round selection.

When Ohio State's offensive lineman Donovan Jackson and Texas receiver Matthew Golden went off the board right in front of them, the Texans decided to go with a contingency plan, it seems.

We'll have to wait until Friday night to see what the Texans do with their picks.
