Texans

Texans QB Davis Mills continues to prepare for the upcoming season as though he will be the starter and told the media that he is comfortable leading the team for another season.

โ€œIโ€™m definitely comfortable,โ€ Mills said, via Pro Football Talk. โ€œI think the biggest thing is being a leader for the team. It starts with showing up every day. Showing the team that you are here to put in the work. I think people mention a lot that the quarterbackโ€™s role is a vocal leader and I think that comes with the position. Iโ€™ve been doing that my whole life so Iโ€™m ready for that challenge and that standpoint of it. The biggest thing is going out and showing up every day in meeting rooms, weight room, on the field, and gaining the respect of my teammates so I can take on that role.โ€
