HOUSTON -- As Davis Mills struggled early in the season, Houston Texans coach David Culley repeated that if the rookie quarterback continued to protect the ball and “do what we ask him to do,” Mills would find the consistency the team was looking for.
And now, as Mills ends the season as the Texans’ starting quarterback, his coach and teammates point to the maturity the 23-year-old has displayed in a season where he lost his first seven starts and threw four interceptions in one game.
“He’s always really seemed above his years,” right tackle Charlie Heck said.
