The Houston Texans had one of the more explosive offenses in the league in the back half of the season, which is crazy to say out loud when you think about the franchise's history and how bad they had been the last few years.
Then you can factor in the Texans going from a three-win team last season to having a rookie head coach, rookie quarterback, and a rookie offensive coordinator to winning a playoff game this season in showout fashion. They put the beating on the Cleveland Browns.
They did a large portion of that damage without one of their best offensive weapons. Sure, Nico Collins was legit all year and played like a top-five wide receiver, but they had another dude, too, in Tank Dell, who was showing out.
Dell, who was a rookie, played in just 11 games and finished with 700 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns. Then, on what was a play that featured Dell on the goalline, being a blocker for a running play, he got injured for the rest of the year.
It was tough on him to watch the rest of the team have so much success without him. However, he has attacked his rehab well and has a message for Texans fans.

On his Instagram story, Dell recently posted a picture of him in the battle red uniform, saying, "coming soon."
In a way, you could say this is a hint that he is going to be back soon, ready to play football. That's exactly what the Texans need, too, especially if they would like to pick up where they left off.
