The Houston Texans are giving 2022 to Davis Mills. The second-year quarterback will have a fair chance to make his case as the franchise’s signal caller long-term and chase away the personnel and scouting departments from investing too heavily in the position.
However, the commitment to Mills doesn’t mean the other quarterbacks on the roster can take it easy. Through the first two days of training camp at Houston Methodist Training Center, backup Kyle Allen has made an impression with his coaches and teammates.
“I talk a lot about Davis Mills, rightfully so, but you just never know when it’s the backup’s time to step up,” coach Lovie Smith told reporters on July 30. “Kyle has played a lot of ball. He’s mobile. He’s accurate and that’s why we brought him here; a guy that if we have to call on him, he knows our offense and we feel like he can run it.”
