DAVIS MILLS CARDS IN THE BINDER
Base, parallels, numbered, autos: every Davis Mills card Dad’s willing to part with.
A third-round pick with eleven college starts somehow became a two-year NFL starter, which tells you everything about Houston's quarterback situation before Stroud arrived. The 2021 Donruss Optic Blue Scope parallel captures that brief window when Mills was supposed to be the answer rather than the backup. Spoiler alert: he was neither, though he has proven serviceable enough to stick around as insurance.
ABOUT DAVIS MILLS
Davis Mills was a five-star recruit ranked as the No. 15 overall prospect who played college football at Stanford. In 2019, Mills set the school record with a 504-yard passing game at Washington State, and finished third in school history with a .655 completion percentage. At Stanford, Mills completed 129-of-195 passes for 1,508 yards, 7 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in five of Stanford's six games in the 2020 season, entering the draft after just 11 career starts. Mills was selected by the Houston Texans in the third round (67th overall) of the 2021 NFL draft.
Mills threw for a career-high 3,118 yards and 17 touchdowns during the 2022 season as Houston's starter, but after the Texans selected C. J. Stroud in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft, Mills was named the Texans' backup. Mills started in three games during the 2025 season while Stroud was sidelined due to a concussion, leading the Texans to wins in all three of his starts, completing 59.5 percent of his passes for 719 yards, five touchdowns and one interception. The collection includes a 2021 Donruss Optic Blue Scope parallel of his base rookie card, numbered 222.
