The Houston Texans receiving corps in 2020 was like the box store retailer Walmart: affordable.
So says Quincy Avery, Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson’s personal quarterbacks coach. The signal caller whisperer joined The Ringer’s The Ryen Russillo Podcast, and opined about the paucity of weapons Watson had throughout the 2020 season.
“(People) might have forgot that his last year in Houston, when he played, he was carrying like three guys who could have been working at your local Walmart at the receiver position and he went absolutely berserk,” Avery said via Matt Young of the Houston Chronicle. “If he gets on a team with any sort of talent around him, somebody’s going to have to really watch out.”
With that as a framework, here is a look at the Texans’ receivers categorized by what type of retail store fits their 2020 production. Note: this ranking includes receivers only, not tight ends and running backs.
