Jo’Quavious Marks is set to potentially fill a significant role in the Houston Texans' backfield, particularly as the third-down and two-minute drill running back following Dare Ogunbowale's departure. Given the Texans’ existing structure, Marks will need to prove himself both in receiving and rushing to secure early down snaps alongside starter Joe Mixon.

Marks’ college performance, primarily at Mississippi State and later at USC, showcased his evolution from a receiving back to a more balanced rusher. However, he will need to demonstrate decisiveness in open space to thrive in the NFL. The addition of new offensive coordinator Nick Caley raises questions about the Texans' backfield rotation, especially considering the offensive line concerns that could hinder rushing effectiveness.
