Anyone who has followed the Houston Texans’ 2022 campaign is well aware of the team’s outstanding rookie running back Dameon Pierce, who has taken the league by storm this year. His exceptional ability to keep his legs churning and hit even the smallest gap for serious yardage is a glimpse at the future of Texans football and has been an exciting development on an otherwise unexciting season.
With his 122 yards from scrimmage on Sunday against the New York Giants, Pierce put himself atop Houston’s all-time list for most games with 100 or more yards through the first nine games of a rookie season. Previously tied with Domanick Davis’ 2003 effort with five such games, Pierce was able to ground and pound his way to a sixth effort of this nature with his expert rushing skills and soft hands in the passing game.
