Jawhar Jordan

Selected in the sixth round of the 2025 draft, Jordan spent most of the year on the Texans' practice squad before being needed late in the regular season when Nick Chubb and Woody Marks were both banged up. The Louisville product made the most of his opportunity, rushing for 101 yards on 15 carries in his Week 15 NFL debut against the Cardinals, but he wasn't able to follow it up the next week versus the Raiders and saw his usage dwindle until he picked up a high-ankle sprain in Week 18 that kept him off the playoff roster. Jordan posted an uninspiring 4.56 40-yard time at the combine and doesn't have ideal size for a feature back, but he's able to maximize what physical tools he does have thanks to plus vision, good elusiveness in space and a three-down skill set. The Texans brought in David Montgomery this offseason to be the new lead back and still have Marks around to handle passing-down duties, but Jordan may have shown enough to be a regular part of the gameday roster in a depth role during his sophomore season.
