Entering the final year of his rookie contract, the receiver aims to secure a more significant role within the offense. He plans to focus on catching every target and avoiding overthinking to maximize his opportunities this season. The Texans currently have Nico Collins, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel, Jared Wayne, and Lewis Bond rounding out their receiving group. Houston begins its regular season on September 13 against the Buffalo Bills at Reliant Stadium.
