The bright spots in the 2022 Houston Texans season have been very few and very far between. However, many of those spots have come when rookie running back Dameon Pierce has the ball.
While quarterback Davis Mills has shown he’s a career backup, at least in OC Pep Hamilton’s offense, Pierce has torn through opposing defenses week after week.
And, along the way, he’s given notice he might quickly land in the shadow of all-time Texans great Arian Foster, if not ultimately surpass him.
Dameon Pierce through 8 games:
• 776 scrimmage yards (leads all rookies)
• 678 rushing yards (leads all rookies)
The Texans rookie RB has been UNSTOPPABLE pic.
