:-Preseason projected role

Carr's most impressive accomplishment last season was taking every snap for the Texans: no mean feat for a rookie who was sacked 76 times. He improved as the season progressed, and the team hopes he can take a great leap forward now that the talent around him has been significantly upgraded.

Tough, mature, intelligent signal caller with tremendous poise and confidence. Has better-than-adequate arm strength and can put some zip on deep balls. Reads defenses well and makes sound decisions with the ball. Is usually accurate and runs well enough to escape the blitz. Can really take a pounding.

Overthrows some receivers and will put too much mustard on the short passes. Doesn't have a standard delivery and will have some passes batted. Forced some passes and was reluctant to dump the ball off and let the backs do the work as a rookie.
