Houston Texans’ Coach Bill O’Brien seems like a man filled with optimism amidst all the chaos surrounding the NFL. The ongoing Coronavirus pandemic has led to all sorts of complications.

Player opt-outs, lack of preseason games, shortened training period, and other incidents have been the highlight of the offseason.
