HOUSTON — As rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud was receiving the ball from one of the assistant coaches whose job was to simulate the snap from being under center, he fumbled the exchange. Just as he was about to get on himself for the mishap, a loud voice with a country accent screamed, “It’s cool, I am right here, let’s do it again.”
That voice was none other than second-year running back Dameon Pierce, a familiar voice in the Houston Texans offense who doesn’t hesitate to speak in that deep southern Georgia accent if it helps him and his teammates improve on the field.
