Texans To Sign RB/KR Jordan Todman

Jordan Todman is adding to his jersey collection once again. The running back/kick returner is signing with the Texans, a source tells Brian Costello of the New York Post (on Twitter). Jordan Todman (vertical)

Todman signed with the Jets in June but he was let go earlier this week. He has appeared in games for four different NFL teams over the last six years – not counting cup-of-coffee type stints like he had in New York – but he is hoping to find some stability in Houston.

Most recently, Todman spent the 2016 season with the Colts where he carried the ball only nine times and contributed mainly on special teams. He had 16 kick returns for a total of 478 yards in 2016, giving him a strong 29.9 yards-per-return average. That total includes one spectacular 99-yard return for a touchdown against the Packers in November.

The Texans’ rushing attack will be led by Lamar Miller with support from Alfred Blue and rookie D’Onta Foreman. Akeem Hunt and Tyler Ervin are also fighting for backup RB spots.
