Professional career
=Pre-draft=
Coming out of college, Farrow was not a highly touted prospect and was only projected by most analysts to be selected in the sixth or seventh rounds or to be a high-priority free agent after the draft. He was ranked as the 31st best running back out of the 204 available in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com. He did not receive an invitation to the combine but did participate in Houston's annual Pro Day.
