Houston Texans' Dameon Pierce has left a great first impression on veteran Joe Mixon, who reveals his favorite attribute about the third-year running back.
The Houston Texans' revamped roster has coach DeMeco Ryans excited for the 2024 season. He believes the Texans have made significant improvements on both sides of the ball, headlined by landing All-Pro wide receiverThe improvements Houston made to its offensive backfield are near the top of Ryans's favorite moves of the offseason, given that the Texans were able to land running back Joe Mixon from the Cincinnati Bengals.
"The thing that I love about Dameon, he keeps me working hard too," Mixon said. "I've always had a great work ethic. But the way he works, its like, 'okay, I gotta keep rolling too.' I think its a great thing for the both of us and the other running backs in the room. We all feed off one another. We all bring certain things to the table. He works hard, and I love his work ethic.
In 2023, his second season with the franchise was a disappointment. Pierce finished with 416 yards and two touchdowns across 14 games. His lack of production led to a decrease in offensive snaps while Devin Singletary took the lead as Houston's feature back.
