Houston went undrafted out of Indiana and was signed by the Patriots in May. The 5’11”, 225 lb running back put up some explosive numbers at his pro day- 4.4 40, 40″ vertical, and an 11′ broad jump. The former Indiana back amassed 2304 rushing yards during his three year career there.

Houston was touted as one of New England’s most promising UDFA signings, but a fumble in the 4th quarter Saturday night sealed his fate there. After the fumble, Houston was benched and was waived the next day. Here’s a gif of the fumble.
