HOUSTON — To everyone’s surprise, Davis Mills put together a successful rookie campaign for the Houston Texans in 2021. Mills, a third-round selection from Standford at pick No. 67, landed on the NFL’s top-25 list for the best rookies of the year, according to Daniel Jeremiah from NFL.com.
As one of a few reasons to feel optimistic about the Texans’ future amid a 4-13 season, it appears that Mills has solidified himself as Houston’s distinct starting quarterback for the 2022 season. But there is a possibility general manager Nick Caserio is keeping his options open at the position as the Texans enter the second year of their rebuild.
“I think Davis made a lot of progress and strives this season,” Caserio said. “When you look at the body of work and the things he was able to accomplish, you can make the argument that he was just as good or better than any of the other rookie quarterbacks. But what does that mean for next season? It doesn’t mean anything.”
