Woody Marks Rising as Texans' Key Back | Houston Texans News

Woody Marks is rising fast as the Houston Texans’ hidden gem — a second-year back who stepped up heroically when Joe Mixon went down, turning extra reps into explosive stats: 703 rushing yards, 24 catches for 208 yards, and 5 TDs. With David Montgomery now joining the backfield, Marks shifts to a dynamic change-of-pace role — especially on third downs — leveraging his versatility as a runner, receiver, and blocker. His pass protection skills make him indispensable, and while his stats may dip with Montgomery’s presence, his playmaking ability could elevate the entire offense. Marks isn’t just filling a role — he’s becoming the Texans’ unsung weapon at No. 19.
