The Houston Texans news for Sunday was the addition of Ole Miss running back Scottie Phillips, and if there is one thing the Texans franchise knows, it is undrafted rookie free agent running backs.

He went undrafted out of Tennessee back in 2009, eventually playing seven seasons in Houston, rushing for 6,472 yards and 54 touchdowns.
