Arian Foster walked into the 2009 Houston Texans’ locker room as the fourth string running back by a wide margin. He left in 2015 as the holder of almost every significant rushing stat for the franchise. Foster’s story has led the way to numerous undrafted free agents getting their chance to succeed in the cut throat NFL system.
It’s rare if it happens once, but it’s even more rare for it to happen twice. Houston hopefully has struck gold twice by signing undrafted rookie free agent (UDFA) running back Xazavian Valladay from Arizona State to the roster.
