Texans Training Camp Notes Day 1: Deshaun Dominates News
Though he didn t take a single snap as QB1, Deshaun Watson was the biggest attraction
Author:
HOUSTON Deshaun Watson entered the training complex outside NRG Stadium wearing a gray hoodie with the Houston Texans logo. On the field, he was seen wearing his No. 4 red non-contact jersey. He also played defense, lining up on the scout team as a safety and wearing a No. 23 jersey. During drills, he was last in line with the other quarterbacks.
He was everything - and everywhere - except he wasn t really the Watson who Texans fans recognize.
HOUSTON How big of an impact will Anthony Miller make with the Texans?
Houston acquired the fourth-year veteran from Chicago for a late-round draft choice on Saturday evening. Miller, 26, is entering a contract year after three mixed-results seasons during his time with the Bears.
Coming out of Memphis, Miller was expected to be an immensely productive receiver in the slot. At best, he would be a low-end No. 1 target or a high-end No. 2 weapon. In Chicago, he s been more of a No. 3 threat.
Miller started six games last season and caught 49 passes for 485 yards and two touchdowns. For his career, he s recorded 134 catches for 1,564 yards and 11 touchdowns.

The Houston Texans have made yet another addition to their already-revamped wide receivers room by adding Anthony Miller from the Chicago Bears.
According to Ian Rapoport, the former second-round pick will head to the Texans with the two teams trading late-round picks.
Miller brings decent speed, good footwork, an ability to take the top off of a secondary, and tenacity to his game - all meaning he s an intriguing signing. At 5-11, he s played both inside and out for the Bears, but given his size he projects as more of a slot.
In theory, this would suggest the Texans are looking to add competition for Randall Cobb and Keke Coutee.
