NOTES:

I mean you gotta feel for Davis Mills. The guy rode it out as the Texans tank commander, essentially two years in a row. Then he got sent to the bench behind wonder QB CJ Stroud in ’23. Every time he has to come on the field the collective fandom of Houston holds their breath. When the Texans needed a win, they opted to roll with emergency QB Case Keenum instead of Davis last season against the Titans. Still the guy has his support, and is frequently the subject of memes discussing his gigantically long neck.

I gambled if I just waited around long enough I’d find a great deal on Davis’ cards and eventually I did, nabbing these two for a total of under 7 bucks.
