The Houston Texans selected running back Woody Marks from USC on Day 3 of the NFL Draft, a decision that raised some eyebrows given their existing backfield depth. Joe Mixon, who had a strong first season with the Texans, is set for the next few years, but the team recognizes the need for a reliable backup. Dameon Pierce and Dare Ogunbowale are in contract years and haven't proven to be reliable. Coach DeMeco Ryans praised Marks for his exceptional pass-catching skills, great hands, and ability to evade tackles, indicating they envision him contributing significantly. With his notable college stats, including over 1,000 rushing yards and impressive receiving numbers, Marks could emerge as a key player in the Texans' offense as they aim for a postseason return.
