The Houston Texans addressed running back with the selection of former Florida Gator Dameon Pierce with the No. 107 pick in Round 4 of the 2022 NFL draft Saturday.
Houston has a veteran running back room with Rex Burkhead as the de facto chairman of the committee. Other members include Royce Freeman and Marlon Mack.
Pierce isn’t a reclamation project or looking to revitalize his career; he is just getting started. The 547 yards and 13 touchdowns on 100 carries through 13 games in 2021 provides a glimpse as to what he could contribute in the backfield.
Here is how Twitter reacted to the news of the Texans’ selection of Pierce.
