A stocky back who has a nice combination of vision, balance
and footwork that makes him a possible every down back.
He gained 1,362 yards on 263 carries with 10 touchdowns
as a Senior. The Texans wanted running back Ryan Mathews
(which shows their lack of confidence in Arian Foster Steve
Slaton), but San Diego moved up to get him. The Texans will
use all three runners until one takes over as the primary,
but even then it will be split.

He is a classic game-changing back. When he touches the
ball it is electric and he can score at anytime. He has
a great mix of athleticism, balance and natural instincts
as a runner. The 5-11, 195 pounder out of Clemson can catch
the ball out of the back field and that can make him an
instant fantasy star. There will be some issues with Fred
Jackson and Marshawn Lynch in the backfield.
