Case Keenum's Houston Texans career

Despite his accolades at the collegiate level, NFL scouts were wary of the level of competition Keenum was up against in college. Hence, the college football icon went undrafted in the 2012 NFL Draft. Aster going undrafted, the Houston Texans promptly swept in and signed Keenum as an undrafted free agent.

Keenum was added to the Texans practice squad ahead of the 2012 NFL season and remained there for his rookie year. Eventually, Keenum was given a shot in his sophomore season, and he featured in half of the Texans' games in 2013.

That was due to an injury to the starting quarterback, Matt Schaub, and the poor form of backup QB T. J. Yates. Keenum started in half of the Texans' games that season and ended the year with a stat line of 1,760 passing yards, nine touchdowns and six interceptions.

Unfortunately, his performances in his sophomore season weren't good enough to earn him the starting job for 2014. He was waived by the Texans and signed by the St. Louis Rams. Keenum didn't start a game for the Rams in 2014 before he was waived by the franchise.

On Dec. 15, 2014, Keenum rejoined the Texans via the practice squad. The Texas native won his first NFL game as a starter after the Texans beat the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. He snagged another win last week against the Indianapolis Colts to ensure that the Texans finished on a high.

Following that, Keenum embarked on a journeyman career that saw him feature for the Rams, Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos, Washington Redskins, Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills.

Keenum resigned with the Texans ahead of the 2023 season to provide cover and add veteran leadership to the locker room, fulfilling both roles admirably.
