Davis Mills has been ranked 11th by SI.com among NFL backup quarterbacks heading into the 2026 season. The Houston Texans quarterback is recognized as a viable option behind Pro Bowler C.J. Stroud after stepping in during Stroud's three-game absence due to a concussion last season. Mills demonstrated his capability with over 800 passing yards, five touchdowns, and just one interception during that span. His experience as a former starter for the Texans adds depth to the team's quarterback situation as Stroud enters a crucial contract year.
