Under-The-Radar Texans Poised For Stardo

He may not be under-the-radar to Houston Texans fans, but according to CBS, quarterback is exactly that.Mills was for an Matt Joyce Jersey under-the-radar AFC player who can be a star in 2022 - and rightfully so.Did you know Davis Mills led the NFL in red zone pa ser rating last season (116.8)? A surprise of the Texans offense, there could be an argument made Mills was the best of the rookie quarterbacks in 2021. Mills ranks third in NFL history among all rookie quarterbacks in completion percentage (66.8%) and had three games with a pa ser rating of 125 or higher -- tied for the second-most among rookie quarterbacks since the 1970 merger.Even though the Texans offense leaves much to be desired, a better offensive line and a year under his belt could set up the quarterback for an even better second season. Whether Mills is a franchise quarterback is to be determined, but the Texans were a significantly better team with him on the field.Praise from the national media for Mills has been trickling in of Marcus Semien Jersey late, for example, with listing him as one of the league's most underrated offensive players, and former Kansas City Chiefs general manager the second-year quarterback he's most intrigued by.But Mills isn't the only under-the-radar Texan to keep an eye on.A suming the offensive line and run game are trending up, this should allow playmakers like wide receiver Nico Collins and tight end Brevin Jordan to blo som. Both saw Walt Weiss Jersey their roles grow as the 2021 season progre sed, with Collins making a number of highlight reel-worthy catches for a total of 446 yards, and Jordan proving a menace in the red zone with three touchdowns on just 20 receptions.Defensively it's hard to mi s the impact a healthy Jonathan Greenard has upfront. The third-year defensive end hit the ground running after switching positions under now-head coach Lovie Smith and led the team in sacks (8.0) and quarterback hits (12) despite only playing in 12 games.Scroll to ContinueDuring a particularly productive stretch, Greenard notched six sacks and seven quarterback hits in just four games - and that was with little help from the rest of Houston's edge rushers with which he could share the offensive line's pre sure.Now with multiple veteran edge rushers Dave Henderson Jersey in the building, heading into his second year in this defensive scheme, fans should keep a close eye on Greenard.Finally, the rookie cla s.Multiple rookies from this year's cla s are poised to start early on - regardle s of what the coaching staff might say. Cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., safety Jalen Pitre, guard Kenyon Green, running back Dameon Pierce, and po sibly even linebacker Christian Harris will all likely start sooner rather than later given the team's needs at those respective positions, and the upsides each player po se ses.The same could also be said for wide receiver who is currently rehabbing from an ACL tear.All of the above have the luxury of joining a team looking for cornerstones to build around, with openings at almost every position from the bottom of the depth chart all the way up to Stephen Piscotty Jersey the top.If the Texans played their cards right in the draft, there ought to be multiple breakout star candidates come the end of the season.
