The Facts: Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reported the club envisions a "multidimensional" role for Miller, who has proven to be, per Wilson, a "determined, quick study" during his first NFL offseason. "(He's) just a versatile player, explosive player," Texans general manager Rick Smith said. "Trying to impact our football team, adding players who can add dimensions to our football team who can make plays with the ball in their hands, and certainly he can do that."
Diehards Line:
The Texans used this offseason to add speed and new weaponry to a passing offense now led by quarterback Brock Osweiler. Instead of asking Pro Bowl receiver DeAndre Hopkins to do it all by himself again, the Texans drafted a first-round deep threat in Will Fuller and picked up former Ohio State star Braxton Miller two rounds later. Fuller's speed alone guarantees an ample rookie role, and now we're getting a feel for how Miller might be used as well. As NFL.com suggested, rookie receivers often need time to take off, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Miller make his share of plays in Year One.
