Woody Marks Preparing for New Pass-Catching Role

Houston Texans rookie running back Woody Marks is shifting his focus to pass-catching duties as the team looks to replace him with David Montgomery as the primary ball carrier.

Marks, who led the team in rushing last season, is working to master the 'route tree' under offensive coordinator Nick Caley. Coach Danny Barrett emphasized that while Marks remains a kickoff returner and special teams asset, his role will heavily prioritize third-down snaps and receiving opportunities. truewildslot.com
