A la Barry Sanders, Arian Foster had a few great seasons in his seven years with the lowly Houston Texans. The best came in his second season when he played to an AV of 20 with 18 total touchdowns and 2,220 yards from scrimmage.

Across 16 games (13 starts), Foster averaged 4.94 yards per rush to 1,616 rushing yards. As we became accustomed to, he also was effective catching the ball, with 66 catches and 604 yards out of the backfield. Even in a losing season, the 24-year-old won First Team honors and went to the Pro Bowl for the first time.
