The Texans long admired Caserio, wanting to hire him as a GM back in 2019. The Patriots blocked their attempt at the time, but Houston was more persistent in their second attempt and it ultimately landed them their man.

Caserio faces several tough challenges in his new job, with the most difficult being the search for a new head coach. Several candidates already interviewed for the job, but he is expected to take charge in the process now and have the final say.

Besides this, Caserio needs to find a way to minimize the damage done by former GM/head coach Bill O’Brien. This includes giving several players overblown deals and robbing the team of significant draft capital in questionable deals.

Nick Caserio spent his entire executive career with the New England Patriots, serving on several positions and being part of the franchise’s six Super Bowl wins. He became the director of player personnel in 2008.

Houston’s interim coach Romeo Crennel confirmed this to reporters when asked whether he is thinking about shutting down star quarterback Deshaun Watson for the season in order to avoid the risk of injury.

“If you shut down Watson, then should you shut down the rest of the team and everybody pack up and go home for three games left?”, pondered Crennel on Thursday. “So, we’re going to play the games and try to win as many as we can.”

Watson shares the same mindset as his coach, believing that each game under his belt will help him become a better player.

“I want to finish this season out strong,” he explained. “I want to continue to get the reps that I want to get to be able to continue to grow as a quarterback and as a player and as a teammate.”

Despite the Houston Texans’ struggles in 2020, Watson has been having a stellar season on an individual level. He is currently completing a career-high 68.9 percent of his passes and has thrown for 3,761 yards and 25 touchdowns. The 25-year-old Pro Bowler also only has six receptions for the year.
