Sales pitch: Foreman's twin brother D'Onta, a third-round draft pick of the Texans last year, penned a **letter of support** for why a team should draft Armanti in The Players' Tribune *before the draft. *D'Onta wrote:

"So yeah, give me a call, but in the meantime here's the deal: I can tell you straight up that Armanti will give you max effort every time out, the reality is just that my brother is a little bit different in how he goes about his business. He's not the rah-rah type. He likes to observe, and he doesn't always say a ton. He's just a really calm and collected guy, and some people, unfortunately, take that to mean that he doesn't care, or that he's not serious enough about wanting to be great.

"That couldn't be further from the truth."
