Dameon Pierce had a fairly mundane college career at Florida and there was no reason to pay much attention when the Houston Texans drafted him in the fourth round of the NFL draft.
If you play in any fantasy football leagues, you should learn the name if you haven't already.
Pierce has been one of the hottest names of the entire preseason, and he capped off a buzzy month with a fine performance in Houston's preseason finale. Pierce, who didn't play last week because it appears he has already won the Texans' starting tailback job, ran for 37 yards on six carries on Houston's first drive and capped it with a strong 1-yard touchdown.
