Texans Take Nico Collins 89th Overall In Third Round
4 years agoThe Houston Texans selected Michigan wide receiver Nico Collins with the No. 89 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Houston traded up to draft Collins. The Texans were expected to address the receiver position after Will Fuller V left in free agency, so Collins should be able to make an immediate impact in Houston alongside Brandin Cooks. Collins is a big and physical receiver at 6-foot-4, 215 pounds and excels on contested catches because of his size and speed combination. He's a big-time athlete with decent separation skills for a receiver of his size. Collins has the traits to become a solid fantasy contributor sooner than later, but it'll all depend on what the team does with quarterback Deshaun Watson this offseason.
