There is a huge storm brewing in Houston at the quarterback position and his name is not Deshaun Watson. Yet it’s another quarterback with similar traits and has been taking a new league by storm.

Meet P.J., quarterback for Houston’s spring pro football team. Walker has seven touchdowns which are the most touchdowns in the entire spring league at the quarterback position.

Watching Walker play has left many Bayou City sports fans with a question: have the Houston Texans thought about potentially signing Walker?

The Texans will have to address the backup quarterback situation this offseason anyway. After all, A.J. McCarron and Joe Webb are both set to be free agents on March 18 when the new NFL year kicks off at 3:00 p.m. Central Time.

General manager Bill O’Brien (getting used to that part) has a great opportunity to sign a quarterback with similar traits as Watson.

Signing Walker as the backup is a no-brainer, or at least giving him a proper workout to evaluate how he would fit into O’Brien’s offense. Should, Heaven forbid, Watson were to miss any action, O’Brien wouldn’t have to change the entire game plan if Watson were to come out of the game at any point. Houston could plug-and-play with Walker.

Another great vote of confidence in Walker’s abilities is former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck pushed his dad, Oliver Luck, the commissioner of the revamped spring league, to find a landing spot for Walker. The former Temple Owl came to Indianapolis as an undrafted free agent in 2017 and spent the next three seasons bouncing off the practice squad, getting signed to a reserve/future contract at the end of the season, and getting cut at the end of every preseason. Nonetheless, Luck was there in Indianapolis for two of those three seasons to see how hard of a worker and how talented Walker really is.

At just 24 years old the Texans would get a young, exciting player that has the potential to play. Hopefully, O’Brien sees the same thing as Luck.

The last game for Houston’s spring league team is April 11, and the Texans’ offseason workout program kicks off on April 20. There is enough of a gap for Walker to transition from one league to the next.
