Running back has arguably been a position of need for the Houston Texans since the 2019 offseason.
Instead of drafting young talent, the Texans have delved into the free agency pool, traded for once prolific veterans, and added familiar faces from other places.

However, the 31-year-old can’t reasonably be Houston’s lead back for another season, and general manager Nick Caserio talked about how the team will approach running back in the offseason.
