Thompson, 32, is a former South Carolina quarterback who had an important role with the Texans and previously with Detroit assisting players in their transition to the NFL.
“I think I grew tremendously, man,” said Texans Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud, who was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year last season. “I know he’s going to be mad at me for this, Dylan Thompson. Oh my gosh, Dylan is one of the best human beings that I’ve ever met in my life. There’s a ton of people, great people in this organization, but DT has been the main person.
“You talk about a brother like to somebody who loves you no matter what happens on that field, you can feel that. I just appreciate that and now he’s going to be mad at me, but, man, he’s a great person, and really one of the reasons why I feel like we were very successful this year.”
