Running back D’Onta Foreman ended his collegiate career at the University of Texas with a 2,028 yard season, arguably operating as the only real weapon in the Longhorns offense in 2016. When he was still on the board for the Houston Texans to pick in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, it seemed almost too good to be true.
For Foreman and many others, the Houston native was living the dream, playing for his hometown team and presented with the opportunity to be a key component in an offense run by one of the most electric quarterbacks in H-Town history, Deshaun Watson.
