Houston Texans Morning Huddle--Dillon Pays

Happy Hump Day! Here are your daily Houston Texans stories for Wednesday:

KJ Dillon pays for dinner by Will Brinson, CBS Sports

Poor K.J. Dillon. The Houston Texans rookie safety is a frugal fella, drafted in the fifth round out of West Virginia and holding a $2.5 million deal over the first four years of his career. Dillon just wants to order some salads and save some money.
That’s not happening when he’s forced to go out to eat with a bunch of Texans veterans, who decided to stick him with the bill at Pappa’s restaurant.
Dillon tweeted a picture of the bill he had to pay, a whopping $16,255.20 tab, which was the number before tip came in.

This seems to be a regular occurrence in the NFL that young guys pay for the veterans, but later on Dillon wasn’t complaining as he praised those same veterans for picking up his tabs from time to time. But still, $13 for a salad?

    Is Tom Savage the next Brady? by Louis Roesch, House of Houston

    Both were mid-round draft picks. Brady, the University of Michigan grad, was the 199th pick in the 6th round of the 2000 NFL draft.

    Brady was the New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick’s first quarterback selection.

    Savage (#135, 4th round) was Texans head coach Bill O’Brien‘s first quarterback selection and remains his only signal caller draft pick in Houston.

    Both were drafted following their teams drafting a tight and guard ahead of them. The Patriots in fact picked two offensive tackles, a guard, running back and tight end before Brady.

    Three of the picks made the 2001 roster along with Brady.

    As for Savage, three of the picks ahead of him are still on the roster and key pieces to the 2016 team.

    Let’s not put the cart before the horse on this one. Other than having the same first name, I think the similarities end there for now.
