The Texans have been at the forefront of many draft storylines ever since they solidified their position with the No. 2 pick in the 2023 draft. Whether the storylines have been good or bad has varied. But all the talk and speculation finally will end Thursday night when Houston makes its selection, but a cryptic tweet posted by the Texans didn’t help their case for staying under the radar until then.
“Failure is not an option: it’s necessary,” the tweet read. “Every misstep is a lesson learned. Every setback a chance to grow stronger. Embrace the struggle and become unstoppable.”
It was a bit dramatic for an early morning tweet on a Monday.

The tweet evoked quite a response online, but not in the way the Texans probably imagined. Instead, the NFL world teased Houston for the dramatic graphic. Here are the best ones:
