Cincinnati RB Jerome Ford could make instant impact for the Texans

It is no secret this offseason the Houston Texans are desperate for an influx of talent. After a 4-13 campaign that led that to the firing of former coach David Culley, the task is fully on general manager Nick Caserio to upgrade the roster if the next coach hopes to fare better in 2022.

This mandate comes at essentially every level of the offense and defense, in a perfect world Houston would have multiple new starters in 2022. Although there’s money to spend in free agency, there may be no better way to address some of these issues than through the draft.

One glaring hole in particular is running back, a position that historically can be found very easily in day two and day three of the draft. As of now, Rex Burkhead is the only returning back from 2021 with Scottie Phillips also in the fold. Luckily for Houston, it has been an amazing week for the running backs in particular.
