And now for a few thoughts, observations and highlights as we wrap up Day 2 of the NFL Scouting Combine.

The Texans struggled on defense last season, surrendering the fourth-most points (26.7 per game) in the NFL, and that led to two key changes.

It’s not often (or never, really) that Andre Johnson makes headlines for anything but his on-field performance. So when news broke Monday that Johnson wasn’t attending voluntary OTAs with the Texans, it got our attention.

The latest out of the NFL Annual Meeting Sunday is that the Competition Committee has voted the proposal for the overtime rule changes through, according to the Boston Globe.

Jake Delhomme’s offseason free-agency tour continues. For now, it appears to be a two-city jaunt, with more dates to be added.

Texans general manager Rick Smith didn’t sound against signing RB LaDainian Tomlinson on Friday. In fact, the team is “entertaining the idea,” he said.

Bengals rookie OT Andre Smith apparently will re-hire agent Alvin Keels, whom he fired just more than one week before the draft, according to a source close to the situation. Smith hired Rick Smith of Priority Sports after firing Keels, but he recently fired him, too.
