Former West Virginia running back Steve Slaton is getting plenty of snaps at the Houston Texans minicamp.

Slaton was the Texans' third-round selection in the NFL draft and attended a minicamp this weekend.

He says the biggest challenge is trying to figure out a 300-page playbook. The Texans had six running backs on the minicamp roster.

Ahman Green and Chris Brown are the top two on the depth chart. Green missed most of last season with a left knee injury and Brown signed as a free agent after five seasons in Tennessee.

All have more NFL experience than Slaton, but he doesn't think that's a disadvantage.

Slaton is confident that he can physically match up with bigger, faster defenders than the ones he faced in college.
