The Houston Texans handed the keys to the offense to Davis Mills for 2022.
For better or worse, the Texans will get a fair evaluation of their former 2021 third-round pick — the first of the Nick Caserio era at No. 68 overall from Stanford — as he won’t have to participate in a quarterback battle in training camp. All first-team reps are Mills’ for all intents and purposes.
Rex Burkhead has spent plenty of time in his career around a variety of quarterbacks from Andy Dalton to Tom Brady. Burkhead has also seen young signal callers develop or be thrust under center in A.J. McCarron in 2015 with the Cincinnati Bengals or in the 2020 offseason when the New England Patriots would have liked for Jarrett Stidham to win a quarterback battle with Cam Newton.
