It had been a long offseason of hype for second-year quarterback Davis Mills.
The sophomore signal caller from Stanford finished the 2021 campaign on a blazing hot finish for the Houston texans and did enough to catch a lot of attention in the process. The Texans were so impressed they decided not to bring in any alternatives at the position. Coach Lovie Smith opted to promote Pep Hamilton from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator and keep continuity for Mills development. The national media, upon further film review, even reflected that Davis Mills had one of the best rookie seasons of any of the 2021 quarterbacks.
