When the Houston Texans traded for All Pro receiver Stefon Diggs this offseason, the fanbase was elated to have a player of his caliber join their up-and-coming team.

There were really only two concerns about the addition of Diggs.

1) Would he be a problem in the locker room?

2) Was his drop in production in the second half of last season due to losing a step?

It's way too early to have an answer to the first question, considering they haven't played any games. We don't know how Diggs will respond when the team faces adversity. But it seems like we have an answer to the second question.

ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime reported his observations of Diggs from Texans OTAs on Thursday.

This should be a huge relief for the Texans and their fans. Many believed that the drop in Diggs' production was a by-product of the Bills changing offensive coordinators mid-season. Based on what Bien-Aime is seeing at OTAs, that appears to be the case.

If Bien-Aime is indeed correct, look out for this Houston offense. Good luck finding a team with three better receivers than Diggs, Nico Collins, and Tank Dell.

Here are some clips of Diggs working with his new team.

We should see Dell and Diggs celebrating a lot this season.

After practice, OC Bobby Slowik spoke about how the team may deploy their top 3 receivers this year.

One thing is for sure, the Texans' balanced attack should give opposing defenses fits in 2024.

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.
