Houston’s tough, versatile RB who could pound between the tackles and catch it out of the backfield
In the 2017 season, Duke Catalon led Houston with 637 rushing yards and 8 rushing touchdowns, and added 14 receptions for 87 yards, showing he could handle both the grind and the check-down game[2][5]. His bigger value was versatility: in 2016–17, he totaled 1,165 rushing yards and 367 receiving yards, a nice “do-it-all” profile for a backfield fit[5][6]. The knock is efficiency, not production — his 4.0 career yards per carry suggests solid volume more than breakaway explosiveness[5][6].
