When the Texans broke the huddle Tuesday morning, wide receiver Tank Dell was running around the practice field with a smile on his face. Dell has made a full and speedy recovery with no restrictions on his activity after suffering a gunshot flesh wound that traveled through the back of his leg through the front of his leg as an innocent bystander and victim in a mass Florida shooting this offseason. Dell joined his teammates for an organized team activity, catching passes from his friend, Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud, including a post pass over the middle. Dell caught a series of passes, creating separation routinely and securing the football in stride in traffic.
Given there are two receivers ahead of Rome Odunze, what should expectations be for the ninth overall pick? A look at some of the best rookie quarterback-wide receiver combos the NFL has seen in recent history can give a little insight.
