The Houston Texans are giving Davis Mills the keys to the offense. The chronic four-win team over the past two seasons is saddling up the second-year quarterback from Stanford for at least 2022 to see what Mills can provide under center.
In the four seasons prior to Mills’ arrival, Texans quarterback play was hallmarked by big plays, typically by scrambling in the pocket to allow bigger plays to develop downfield. Mills has none of that going for him, and the lack of a running game and pass protection severely impacted his effectiveness in his rookie year.
When Mills was able to have time to go downfield, the results were impressive.
