Texans hire former New England Patriots RB Shane Vereen as player personnel assistant

A former New England Patriots running back is headed to the Houston Texans. No, it’s a rewind to the 2021 season when Rex Burkhead hopped on a plane to NRG Stadium.

The Texans are hiring former Patriots standout Shane Vereen as a player personnel assistant, according to KPRC2 Sports Aaron Wilson. Vereen previously worked as a college football analyst for Pac-12 Network and FOX Sports.
