Davis Mills Deserves Backup Role

Davis Mills, Houston’s reliable backup QB, just cracked Sports Illustrated’s top 11 backups — and for good reason. After stepping in for a concussed C.J. Stroud and winning three games last season, Mills proved he’s a clutch game manager who knows the system. With 29 starts, 40 TDs, and just 1 INT last year, he’s the steady, low-risk option the Texans need — especially with their defense playing at a high level. Despite his expiring contract, trading him wouldn’t net much (likely just a late-round pick), and keeping him ensures stability if Stroud’s sidelined. Expect him to stay put — he’s exactly what Houston wants in the backup role, and they’re not about to let him go before kickoff.
