Texans continue to stock Osweiler's arsenal with WR Braxton Miller

Brock Osweiler is a happy man.

The Houston Texans have selected Ohio State receiver Braxton Miller in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft, 85th overall.

Houston's passing game was in desperate need of more targets, as DeAndre Hopkins was essentially the Texans only legitimate threat last season. Miller is a converted quarterback but is a tremendous athlete who wowed scouts with his route running at the senior bowl.

The newly signed Osweiler will be grinning ear-to-ear now that the Texans have added Miller and Will Fuller in the first round.
