Jawhar Jordan

25-Year-Old Running BackRB
2024 Fantasy Outlook
A sixth-round pick out of Louisville in 2024, Jordan's lack of size, speed or power make him a longshot to earn a big role in the NFL. He's a smart runner with plus vision who can get the most of of his blocking, and his receiving skills and enthusiasm for pass protection could get him on the field on third downs, but he could have trouble generating chunk plays. Jordan joins a crowded Texans backfield that now features Joe Mixon in a lead role, and he may need to beat out special teams stalwart Dare Ogunbowale for a roster spot. Read Past Outlooks

The Texans signed Jordan to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Jordan spent the majority of his 2024 campaign with Houston's practice squad after missing time with an oblique injury early in the season. The 2024 sixth-round pick from Louisville has yet to make his NFL regular-season debut, but he's likely to have the opportunity to compete for a depth role in the Texans' backfield as the offseason progresses.
