Talking about Davis Mills as the Houston Texans’ future is the Bayou City equivalent to taking a whiffle bat to a hornets nest, or streaking at the Westminster dog show in Milk Bone underwear.
In baseball, the Astros fanbase has never been more unified than their rally cry to resign All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa. For those invested in the Rockets, there has been moderate controversy over potential trades of Eric Gordon or Christian Wood but everyone generally understands the team is going through the growing pains of a rebuild in the NBA.
Mills, the Texans’ 2021 third-round selection and starter of their last five games, represents an entirely different beast. Mills comes off a promising rookie campaign that came amongst a bad offense and very few wins. He completed 67% of his passes for 2,664 yards and 16 touchdowns over the course of 11 starts. His development from his first start against the Carolina Panthers to the season finale against the Tennessee Titans was evident to everyone.
