WR Chris Conley credits David Culley for his decision to join the Texans
Newly acquired Houston Texans receiver Chris Conley revealed Monday night on Twitch why he chose the Houston Texans in free agency.
The former Kansas City Chiefs 2015 third-round pick hosted his latest streaming event on his Twitch channel — FlightConley.
From joining his good friend David Johnson to working alongside Brandin Cooks, Conley took a moment to acknowledge the reasons behind his decision to join the Texans on a one-year deal before taking part in a game of Apex Legends.
Of the many purposes Conley mentioned, the opportunity to reunite with Texans head coach David Culley was his primary determination.
“There’s always a lot of stuff surrounding an NFL team when you don’t have a winning season, but one of the things I am excited about is coach Culley,” Conley said. “Big fan of the man that he is and his direction. There is a very no-nonsense attitude with the coaches. They tell you how it is and what they think. And everything from there on you have to earn it. I am a big fan of that.”
“All of the stuff that is happening off the field, you have to ignore it and just play.”
Conley began his career with Culley serving as his wide receivers coach with the Kansas City Chiefs. Conley put together a successful two-year stretch (2015-2016) under Culley, where he recorded 729 yards on 61 receptions.
After Culley departed for Baltimore in 2017, Conley spent an additional two years in Kansas City before joining the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2019. Without Culley, Conley’s play with the Chiefs took a slight decline, as the 28-year-old wideout posted 509 yards on 43 catches.
