Michael Hayes brings Houston a physical, tackle-breaking RB with touchdown production
Hayes profiles as a dependable Houston back who has already shown he can carry real volume and finish drives, with 1,356 rushing yards and 19 TDs in his Houston career and a 5.3 yards-per-carry pace that reflects efficient, not flashy, production[5][6]. His appeal is the power and toughness in his running style—highlighted by multiple big, contact-heavy runs—and the kind of consistency that helps a team stay on schedule[1][4][5]. If you want a back who can absorb touches, create yards after contact, and convert in the red zone, he fits that mold well[4][5].
