Why Texans receiver Xavier Hutchinson is ‘super proud of myself’

"Obviously, I’m super proud of myself because I knew I put in the work to reap these rewards,” Hutchinson told KPRC 2. “Just got to continue to keep going, got to continue to keep my foot on the pedal, got to keep working.

I can’t really think too much about it, just got to let football be football. Let how you play be your word. Keep it about one day at a time and not force anything. Just let everything come to me as it will, continue to be who I am each and every day."

The improvement is obvious in Hutchinson, who caught 254 passes for 2,929 yards and 15 touchdown in college.

“We came in together, did rookie mini camp, did all the rookie meetings, everything,” CJ Stroud said. “He’s a brother of mine. I’m super proud of him. He’s playing with the most confidence that I’ve seen him, He’s balling. He’s doing really well.”

“Hutchinson, first year till now, he’s just gotten better every year,” Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said. “He’s shown what it looks like when you put the work in and you’re really deliberate about getting better and you want to get better at your craft; you can do that. That’s what he represents.

“That’s what he’s done, and I mean, credit to him for putting the work in, not only here, but putting the work in while he’s away, while no one’s around. He’s working all the time. It’s a credit to him and it shows up. Now he’s in a really good spot to help our team.
