WR prospects to keep an eye out for π
After Mills said the first installs he's seen from Pep's offense are familiar to him from his time at Stanford, I went back and watched some of the offensive snaps Stanford had when Mills was starting. I've also been trying to watch as much of Pep's offense from his time with the Colts and in the XFL that I can. With that, I think there are 2 receivers who could really suit the Texans well.
-
Treylon Burks: They've already showed interest in him, meeting at the combine I believe and inviting him for a visit. He certainly fits. The scheme honestly doesn't seem to cause a lot of separation so you've got to be good at the point of catch. Also Pep likes short, quick passes, getting his guys in space so they can get YAC. Lots and lots of screens at Stanford. Burks is a YAC monster apparently.
-
Wan'Dale Robinson: Probably can get him in round 3 or later, which makes me doubt he'll end up here but if he does it'll make a lot of sense. Texans may run a lot of 12 and 22 personnel but they'll still be running spread offenses as well and could use a shifty slot receiver who's really good at those screens they want to run. He is small and has concentration drops so maybe he'll fall a bit more but idk.
Personally hoping for a mix of speed, size and YAC ability for this offense.
