Houston drafted Mertz in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He was a highly touted recruit at the University of Wisconsin before transferring to the University of Florida for the final two years of eligibility. He showed improved decision-making and comfort at Florida, but a torn ACL in October of 2024 ended his season. Mertz recovered quickly and in time to make a positive impression at his Pro Day workouts, enough so that the Texans will take a chance. He'll push Davis Mills for the backup job, but it's more likely Mertz will be the third quarterback.
