The Houston Texans turned to youth to bolster their running back corps in the 2022 NFL draft.
The Texans selected fourth-rounder Dameon Pierce from Florida. The 5-10, 215-pound bruiser is expected to give the Texans welcomed production that comes with adding fresh legs to a backfield.
Projecting forward, the Texans’ running back stable is still pretty old when Rex Burkhead, 32, and Marlon Mack, 26, are factored in. The Texans may still need to add younger backs to the roster in 2023.
