“I expect that between Davis [Mills] and Nico [Collins] and the time that they’ll put in out here on the practice field, that there should be a high level of trust between the two. And we should be able to feature Nico in situations where it’s man coverage, where he can use his body, his size, his God-given ability to make plays.”
That’s what Houston Texans offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton said lats Tuesday about the connection between quarterback Davis Mills and receiver Nico Collins. The Texans selected Mills with the 67th overall pick in the third round of the 2021 draft, and Mills surprised a lot of people by looking like a potential franchise quarterback for a franchise very much in need of one. Collins also came to Houston in the third round of the 2021 draft, with the 89th overall pick.
