Nico Collins Feels Texans WR Corps “Could Be Dangerous”

Houston Texans’ Nico Collins, the football wide receiver, recently shared his view on the Texans' WR corps’s performance in the upcoming National Football League or NFL games of 2025 with Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 during a charity program. “I feel like we could be dangerous, man, I feel we all just go out there and be us. That's the main important thing, 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."

As the Texans revamped their receiver room this offseason, the Texans' star Nico Collins sounded frivolous about the revamped receiver corps.

Some Notable Revamped Receivers of the Houston Texans

We can take a look at the key changes of the recent reconstruction of this NFL team below:

• Tank Dell to remain sidelined due to his late-season knee injury

• Stefon Diggs to depart for New England in free agency

• John Metchie III was traded to Philadelphia during the preseason

Along with these reconstructions, the team has some new additions. Check out the names below:

• Veteran Slot receiver Christian Kirk

• The rookie draft also selects Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel

• Xavier Hutchinson is returning with improved performance

Collins has been a star player of the Houston team, leading the team with 68 catches for 1,006 yards. He also had seven touchdowns, even with a hamstring injury. Collins completed fourth with 83.8 receiving yards per game in the NFL.

Last year, Collins had an intense start, leading the league with 113.4 receiving yards in every game from Week 1 to Week 5. The 26-year-old receiver believes in his flawless playing rapport with quarterback C.J. Stroud. In his words, during a previous interview with Wilson, “It's like taking candy from a baby. It's bread and butter. It's only right for us to continue to grow, continue to find the timing, and continue to work on our craft. You can't get comfortable. I feel like that's one thing you can't do in this league is get comfortable. I feel like for us, me and him, to continue to grow as a unit as an offense and continue to click. Everybody, that's our goal."

The Texans' offense underwent rigorous transformations this offseason. Be it the wide receiver corps, the switching of running backs following the foot injury of Joe Mixon, the change in coordinators, or the revamped offensive line, the overhauls were done to strengthen the team. Amidst all these changes, one thing that remained constant is the connection between Stroud and Collins. Undoubtedly, Houston definitely needs Collins and Stroud to set in motion if they want to have a mesmerizing start against the Los Angeles Rams on 7th September, 2025 (Sunday).
