Who says Dameon Pierce can’t be a receiver?
According to video shot by KPRC-TV’s Aaron Wilson, the Houston Texans running back took part in pass-catching drills with rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud during Thursday’s training camp practice at Houston Methodist Training Center.
Pierce finished sixth on the team last year with 30 receptions. Only Rex Burkhead had more among running backs with 37. However, Burkhead played three more games compared to Pierce’s 13. The fourth-rounder produced 165 yards and a touchdown with his opportunities.
The former Florida product joked with the media July 28 that any questions about his comfort catching passes out of the backfield was giving away too much of the offense.
“Come on, man, you’re telling too much,” said Pierce. “You’re telling too much, man.”
