It's time to get back to football! The first day of Texans training camp kicked off with some big news as the team and star Tytus Howard agreed to a three-year extension and wide receiver John Metchie III was cleared to return.
But back to the question.Last training camp, the Texans hoped Davis Mills could develop into a franchise quarterback after finishing with 16 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his rookie season. But Mills finished tied with a league-high 15 interceptions as the Texans finished 3-13-1. His struggles led to Houston drafting Stroud with the No. 2 overall pick in April.
The Texans rotated Mills and Stroud throughout spring practices with the first-team offense, but it will likely be Stroud in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens. If Stroud has command of the offense and displays his strongest trait from college in preseason games and joint practices, then the Texans will be comfortable with Stroud's development.The Texans beefed up the defensive line with Rankins from the New York Jets to help a struggling defense.
The Texans are hopeful Rankins can impact the defensive line's interior play, making life easier for No. 3 overall pick Will Anderson Jr. as he transitions to the NFL from Alabama. A unit led by Maliek Collins, Rankins, Anderson and Jerry Hughes, who had nine sacks last season, could reverse the fortunes of last season against the run.
First-year offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik's scheme -- which has a history of elevating running back production -- should increase Pierce's output on the ground. Also, throughout the spring, the Texans utilized him more in the passing game.
