The Houston Texans aren’t giving out starting positions, especially in the midst of the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
However, coach Lovie Smith did field questions about former 2021 third-round quarterback Davis Mills when he met with the media on March 2. From what Smith saw as the Texans’ defensive coordinator and associate head coach in 2021, the rookie signal caller demonstrated some traits that are favorable to having a successful stint as Houston’s starting quarterback.
“I got a chance to see Davis in a lot of different situations last year,” Smith said. “Early on, he wasn’t starting, so he worked against the one defense quite a bit. I love his demeanor. He’s a smart guy. He went to Stanford, right? Smart guy. Teammates buy in to him.”
