The Houston Texans could strengthen their offense by adding a top running back in the 2025 NFL Draft.
One of the great additions to the Houston Texans offense this season has been the contributions of running back Joe Mixon.
Mixon has the third-most rushing touchdowns and rushing yards per game in his first season with the Texans. Three of those rushing touchdowns came on Monday Night Football, the first time a Texan has done that since 2013.2025 NFL mock draftNov 16, 2024; San Jose, California, USA; Boise State Broncos running back Ashton Jeanty runs the ball against the San Jose State Spartans in the fourth quarter at CEFCU Stadium.
Jeanty has firmly established himself as the top running back in this draft class. In just 10 games this season, he’s amassed an impressive 1,893 rushing yards and 26 touchdowns on the ground, along with 98 receiving yards and an additional touchdown through the air. Jeanty and dynamic dual-threat star wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter are locked in a tight race for the Heisman Trophy, and it’s a competition both players undoubtedly deserve to be in.
If the Texans draft Jeanty, they will aim to enhance their offensive backfield, potentially giving quarterback C.J. Stroud more tools, but risking neglect of other vital positions like the offensive line.
