Who Are the Top 10 Houston Texans of the Decade?

3. Arian Foster

(2010-2015): 70 games played, 1400 rushes, 6215 rushing yards, 241 catches, 2175 receiving yards, 65 total TDs, 4.45 yards per carry

Undrafted out of Tennessee in 2009, Arian Foster burst onto the season in a 2010 game against the Peyton Manning-led Colts with 231 yards and three TDs. From that point on, the Texans had one of the most swift and patient running backs in the league, rewarding them with a rushing title that same season.

Detractors might argue that injuries robbed him of his reliability, but when he was on the field he completely transformed the offenses game plan. Both a dominant outside runner and a savvy receiving threat out of the backfield, Foster ran behind Duane Brown for his entire Texans career and was a bonafide superstar.

Off-the-field, Foster has become a man of numerous trades, including writing poetry, finding success as a rapper under the name Bobby Feeno, shortly becoming an advocate for Veganism, and participating in various small projects as an actor.

Once dubbed the most interesting man in the NFL, Foster was the catalyst for the peak Texans offense of the early 2010s. The combination of Foster, Andre Johnson, and Matt Schaub were the glory days of the play-action rollout offense, only made possible by the constant threat of having Foster on the field.
