Nico Collins, the wide receiver for the Houston Texans, recently secured his future with the team by signing a three-year extension through 2027. This comes as Collins was heading into the fourth and final year of his rookie contract. The 25-year-old player was drafted in the third round out of Michigan in the 2021 NFL draft.
Collins is coming off his best season yet, with career-high numbers in catches, yards, and touchdowns. He had 80 catches for 1,297 yards and eight touchdowns in his most recent season.
