  • The Texans selected D’Onta Foreman with the team’s third-round pick in the NFL draft Friday.

  • He ranked 16th among that group with an average of 3.54 yards after contact per attempt; he’s averaged more than three yards after contact per attempt in each of the last two seasons.
  • Foreman’s 29 rushes of at least 15 yards were the fourth-most among draft-eligible running backs.
