The Houston Texans run a traditional pro-style offense with a strong emphasis on inside zone and power concepts, occasionally mixing in outside zone plays.
Immediate contributor as a complementary power back in a committee, with the ceiling to develop into a lead every-down back if he improves his receiving and pass protection.
A pass-heavy 'Air Raid' or spread RPO system where his receiving limitations would be constantly exposed and his power running underutilized.
His size and running style are a perfect match for the team's existing offensive play-action and gap scheme designs.
Selected #89 overall in Round 3 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Houston Texans out of Texas.
