if the texans were to draft a rb what type would they look for? a goalline back type or is DD considered the goalline back? the reason i ask is i'm very interested in a rb out of arkansas de'arrius howard. he's 5'11" and 230. the guy is a bruiser. from espn:
Overall: Howard redshirted in 2001. He played in all 14 games in 2002. Served as a backup in 10 games in 2003, when he rushed for 267 yards and six touchdowns on 95 carries. He led all Arkansas RB's in rushing in 2004, finishing with 529 yards and six TD's on 124 carries. As a senior in 2005, Howard rushed for 328 yards and two TD's on 63 carries. Howard was a classic underachiever throughout his career at Arkansas but he flashed enough versatility and natural talent when on the field to spark our interest. Howard also put on an impressive showing at this year's East-West Shrine all-star game, where he displayed an intriguing combination of size, speed and power. He is too much of an enigma to gamble on earlier than the final couple of rounds, but Howard's upside makes him worth the risk late in the 2006 draft.
he averaged: 4.5, 2.8, 4.3, 5.2 ypc at arkansas. i'd really like to see houston give him a shot.
