The Texans opened their offseason training program Monday and with it, came the debut of Houston's free-agent acquisitions, safety Rahim Moore, nose tackle Vince Wilfork and wide receiver Cecil Shorts III

Wilfork, who signed with Houston after winning two Super Bowls during his 11 seasons with the Patriots, told the team's official website the day offered a chance to get some work in, but more importantly, to get a feel for his new teammates.

"One thing I do notice is that it’s a tight group," Wilfork told HoustonTexans.com. "They love to play football. I think coming here the first day, guys were excited to get back going. I’m looking forward to the season.”

Shorts, who came over from division rival Jacksonville, echoed Wilfork's sentiments.

"It was good," Shorts said. "I was excited to be here. It was a little different coming from Jacksonville. I kind of knew the routine. It was a good first day and I'm excited about what's to come."
