Savage has been building chemistry with the Texans' young wide-receiver corps during OTAs, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports. "It's helping a lot," the quarterback said. "That's all it's about, is chemistry with these guys and competing against one of the best defenses in the NFL."
Savage heads into training camp as the No. 1 quarterback for the first time in his NFL career. While coach Bill O'Brien remains adamant that Savage is his starter, rookie first-round pick Deshaun Watson is clearly the quarterback of the future, leaving many to question if or when the Texans may opt to turn to him. Until that happens, however, Savage, who recorded 46 completions on 73 attempts for 461 yards in three games last season, will continue to establish rapport with DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller and the likes as he hopes to strengthen his hold on the starting gig in camp.
