Nico Collins Rising to Elite Status | Houston Texans News

Nico Collins is officially in elite company, ranked eighth-best wide receiver in the league by ESPN—right alongside JaMarr Chase and Justin Jefferson. Despite facing a shaky offensive line, a weak run game, missed time with a concussion, and a new offensive system, Collins delivered his third straight 1,000-yard season with just 17th-most targets. His 1,117 yards tied him for ninth in the NFL, showcasing untapped potential. Standing at 6’4” and 220+, he’s built like Julio Jones but hasn’t always been deployed to maximize his mismatch advantages. With hopes of a fourth straight 1,000-yard campaign—and possibly breaking his own personal record—Collins is poised to become the first Texans receiver to achieve that feat.
