While CJ Stroud gets the majority of the credit for turning the Houston Texans season around, the offseason acquisition of Devon Singletary might have been one of the most underrated signings this past season. Even though Stroud was slinging bombs across the field, it was Singletary’s consistency as a running back that gave the team an added layer to their offense.
He has made a career out of it, starting from his days at the collegiate level with the Florida Atlantic University. Right from the get-go, Singletary was a massive contributor. In his freshman season, he would cross the thousand-yard threshold along with 12 touchdowns to his name. His sophomore campaign, however, exceeded every expectation possible. Leading the FBS in total points scored, he would finish with the most rushing yards in FAU History with a mind-boggling 1,918 yards. A semi-finalist for the Doak Walker Award, he would earn the C- USA MVP Award. He would continue his form in his final season, once again eclipsing 1300 yards and finishing his career with the most rushing yards in FAU history.
