Only 10 minutes into the first quarter on Saturday, rookie quarterback Davis Mills took the field to make his first appearance as No. 10 on the Houston Texans.
According to coach David Culley, the team wanted to see how the rookie would respond.
“We wanted to see him in all kinds of situations, and basically we want to see him at this point handle the passing game and kind of do both,” Culley said.
The rookie’s appearance has been highly anticipated since his selection at 67th overall and as a potential heir apparent to the Deshaun Watson QB-debacle that Houston is currently engaged in. Mills finished 11 of 22 against the Green Bay Packers for 112 yards, no touchdowns, 1 interception and 1 sack. However, despite the seemingly mediocre stat line, there was a lot to learn about the young quarterback on film.
