Rookie running back Dameon Pierce has put the Houston Texans’ offense on his back in 2022. As one of the most productive first-year players in the league, he has exceeded all expectations through his first 10 games, even if his team’s record has left something to be desired.
Head coach Lovie Smith reflected on Pierce’s development in his final comments to the media on Wednesday before the Thanksgiving holiday. He told reporters that Pierce has been on-point since the first day he walked into the Texans facilities, and described him as a magnetic character with boundless potential.
