Houston Texans decided to say goodbye to their wide receiver Keshawn Martin.

The Texans just traded their rookie receiver Martin to the Super Bowl defending champions New England Patriots, reported NFL.com, citing a Twitter post from Houston Chronicle's John McClain. Reporter Stephanie Stradley thinks it will be easy for Martin to adapt in his new camp, too, given the similarities in their system.

Looking forward to staying with the Texans

Martin, who was drafted in 2012 via a fourth round pick, tallied 416 yards and three touchdowns in his three-year stay in the Houston team, per ESPN stats. The 5-foot-11, 194-pound football athlete reportedly performed best in 2013, as he delivered 253 yards for 22 passes received and two touchdowns. However, last season was his least productive year, wherein he only posted 78 receiving yards and scored no touchdown.

In July, while at the Texans minicamp, Keshawn Martin was still optimistic that his skills as a receiver will get noticed and be appreciated by the Texans, ESPN reported.

The Michigan State University alumnus aimed to prove more this 2015 season by focusing on learning more about the game.

"Well, you know, it's just a challenge. I accept the challenge," Martin said.

"Just be better than last year. Just being a smarter player. Just focusing. Just learning multiple spots. With this offense you learn something new every day. I'm just trying to pick up on those smaller details and improve on them," the 25-year-old receiver added.

He was committed to playing his best because he only has one year remaining on his rookie contract, and he wanted to extend his stay.

"It's a sense of urgency. Just wanting to make the team, wanting to be on this team," the Michigan-born player said.

New team to impress

Now, it is not the Texans head coach Bill O'Brien he must work to impress with whatever he learned so far, but coach Bill Belichick of the Patriots and his new teammates as well.

Who knows, he might just fit right in the Patriots' camp, especially with his skills on special teams, noted NFL.com.

He may be what the current champions are looking for to jibe with Tom Brady's play as he is said to be "best utilized on run-after-catch routes closer to the line of scrimmage" because of his right size and talents.
