Best NFL City of Homegrown RB Talent......

[OptimisticTexan]

If you could mix-n-match pieces from both Oilers and Texans, that were drafted or signed as an UDFA, to come up with an absolute amazing RB group for the Texans today and still be a relevant force against today's defenses. If you have a different group, who would you pick?

RB1- Earl Campbell
RB2- Arian Foster
RB3- Eddie George
RB4- Steve Slaton

I'd dare any defense to want to have any desire to try and stop this group. Are there any other teams history of RB's that could rival this group? If there's a better group, I'd like to see it.

Of the 4 you listed, only Earl could be considered anything close to 'homegrown'.

I think he means make a list of the best RBs from a NFL team that were drafted or signed as an UDFA by that team. Then compare to his Texans' list.
