(Sports Network) - The Houston Texans signed three draft picks on Tuesday, including former West Virginia running back Steve Slaton.
Slaton, a third round pick in this year's NFL Draft, ranks third in the Mountaineers' history with 3,923 rushing yards. Despite leaving after his junior season, the 197-pound running back holds the school's record for rushing touchdowns with 50 and the single-season rushing yards record with 1,774 in 2006.
Houston also signed third-round pick Antwaun Molden, a cornerback out of Eastern Kentucky, and fifth-round pick Frank Okam, a defensive tackle out of Texas.
To make room on the roster for the three players, the Texans released fullback Jon Abbate, defensive tackle Eric Powell, guard/tackle Charles Spencer and guard Dan Stevenson.
