The Texans haven’t started their first offseason program since signing quarterback Brock Osweiler as a free agent, but Osweiler has started working with some of his new teammates.

Tania Ganguli of ESPN.com reports that Osweiler has joined the trend of quarterbacks gathering a group of players together for workouts before the CBA allows their teams to officially get back to work. Osweiler has gone back to Arizona State, an alma mater he shares with Texans wide receiver Jaelen Strong, and several teammates came along.

In addition to Osweiler and Strong, Texans wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins, Cecil Shorts and Keith Mumphery and backup quarterback Tom Savage are in attendance. The work will start the process of building the relationships that will be vital to the team’s passing game come the fall and, the Texans hope, many seasons beyond that.

The Texans have had no consistency at quarterback over the last few years thanks to injuries and ineffectiveness. Osweiler’s in town to stop the carousel from spinning and the work to ensure that happens got underway this week.
