WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- The quick transition that rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee has made to the NFL level has made a fast impression on Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Drafted in the fourth round, Coutee is challenging Braxton Miller to be the Texans' slot receiver. A second-team All-Big 12 selection, Coutee caught 93 passes for 1,429 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.
