Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is optimistic about what the team’s retooled passing attack can accomplish this season.
“I feel like we could be dangerous, man,” Collins told KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson at a charity event. “I feel we all just go out there and be us. That’s the main important thing, is go out and be you. Don’t make the moment bigger than what it is and go out just have fun. Make plays for the team and that’s what we’re doing for sure.”
Houston’s wide receiver room looks different heading into 2025. Stefon Diggs left in free agency for New England, John Metchie III was dealt to Philadelphia, and Tank Dell continues to rehab from a knee injury suffered late last season. The Texans added veteran slot option Christian Kirk, along with rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, while Xavier Hutchinson returns after an encouraging preseason.
Nico Collins remains the centerpiece. Despite missing five games with a hamstring injury last year, the 26-year-old still led Houston with 68 receptions for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns, finishing fourth in the NFL at 83.8 receiving yards per game. He opened the year on fire, averaging 113.4 yards per game through the first five weeks.
At this stage, Collins believes his timing with quarterback C.J. Stroud is as sharp as ever
