DAVIS MILLS NEWS

Works out with first team Mills spent time with the first-team offense Saturday, as Tyrod Taylor (personal) was not at practice, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact It was a red-zone day for the Texans, and Mills started well, throwing touchdown strikes to Jordan Akins and Chris Conley. Later, however, he was picked off twice by safety Justin Reid. Overall, the rookie threw five interceptions, per Aaron Reiss of The Athletic. Houston head coach David Culley took a big-picture view, noting it was a good learning experience for Mills, the 2021 third-round draft pick that is expected to back up Taylor and possibly Jeff Driskel.

Texans take QB Davis Mills with Watson's future unclear

The Houston Texans selected Stanford quarterback Davis Mills in the third round of the NFL draft

MAY 1, 2021 • Associated Press

First pick for Houston in 2021 The Texans selected Mills in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 67th overall.

Impact The Texans use their first pick of this year's draft to take a quarterback in light of the unknowns surrounding franchise quarterback Deshaun Watson. Mills was billed as one of the best "project" quarterbacks in this class in that he didn't have the resume worthy of a first-round pick, but his tools could allow him to develop into a starter down the road. He was a blue-chip recruit out of high school, but knee injuries dating back to that period kept him off the field until 2018. Mills took over as Stanford's starter in 2019 and threw for 1,960 yards, 11 touchdowns and five picks in six starts. He is talented and scouts believe in his ability, but the 11 career starts and the knee injury history are concerns.
