Texans' McNair talks how they pulled off shocking draft-day trade

HOUSTON -- Secrecy was a memorable theme for Cal McNair when he reflected on Day 1 of last April's draft.

The Houston Texans' owner, who was the CEO and chairman of the team at the time, remembers countless calls from reporters hours before the franchise made the No. 2 pick, which humored McNair.

"Some calls were like, 'What are you going to do? We can't get anything out of you. Are you going to take a quarterback?'" McNair said.
