Video: 10 Players to Watch at NFL Training Camp (2026)
Woody Marks last year... he led the team in rushing... 703 rushing yards on on a pretty big workload. He was not impressive at all. And he can't do the in between the tackles stuff... David Montgomery is just so much better in so many categories.

Marks inefficient in 2024; Montgomery preferred in Texans backfield

Despite reports of lead-back duties, Marks is positioned as a contingent value handcuff to David Montgomery. He led the Texans in rushing with 703 yards in 2024 but was "very very inefficient" as a runner and cannot execute between-the-tackles work—a critical skill for the Texans' ground-focused offense. Coach speak emphasizes Montgomery's superiority in run, pass, and protection roles. Marks may see a 75/25 or similar split favoring Montgomery, with mixed-in usage rather than lead-back opportunity.
