' breakout year in 2023 has him on the verge of adding his name to the franchise's rich history of wide receivers. By setting a career-best 1,297 yards on 80 catches and eight touchdowns last season, Collins became the fourth wideout in franchise history to reach over 1000 yards. He joined Andre Johnson, DeAndre Hopkins and Brandin Cooks.
, in my opinion, of just how fast he is, how he gets in and out of his braces, releases, how strong he is," Stroud said. "I'm just proud of that guy. My brother, Nico, he's shown up and shown out. When his number is called, he always makes a play." He registered five games with more than 100 receiving yards. His best came during the Texans season finale victory against the Colts, posting 195 yards with nine catches and a touchdown.
