Are Nico Collins & Jayden Higgins the NFL's next "Twin Towers"? Steve Smith Sr. breaks down the tape. 🤘

C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans are legit Super Bowl contenders, but the offense needs to step up to match their championship-caliber defense. Steve Smith Sr. and James Palmer dive deep into the tape and roster dynamics surrounding Houston's wide receiver room.

Steve breaks down why Nico Collins has solidified his status as a physical, game-winning Alpha WR1 who will now face bracket coverages, how sophomore breakout candidate Jayden Higgins pairs with Collins to form a "Twin Towers" matchup nightmare, and the physical and mental realities behind Tank Dell's 18-month recovery from a severe leg injury. Plus, a look at C.J. Stroud taking command at the line of scrimmage and depth competition from Boston College rookie Lewis Bond, Jaylen Noel, and Xavier Hutchinson.
