Nico Collins is the third Michigan football player off the board in the 2021 NFL draft, but the reaction to his selection by the Houston Texans, who traded up to select him, has been much bigger than even for Kwity Paye, the Indianapolis Colts’ first-round pick.

After having sat out the 2020 season, Collins didn’t get the attention as did his counterparts at wide receiver. Now that he’s NFL-bound, not only are his former teammates celebrating, those in Houston are as well.

Twitter exploded with reactions to Collins’ selection by the Texans, with high praise going around for the franchise as well as Collins’ talent and ability. Here are some of the best reactions on social media.
