Woody Marks 'Very Excited' For Texans' David Montgomery Trade, Eyes Jahmyr Gibbs Role

The Houston Texans landed one part of the NFL's best backfield tandem when they traded for Detroit Lions' David Montgomery.

Now, Texans running back Woody Marks is hoping he and Montgomery will mirror the success he witnessed in Detroit over the last few years.

"I'm very excited," Marks told Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2. "Just looking back at the clips with him and Jahmyr Gibbs, it looked like they was having so much fun out there. When the running back room doing good and everybody blocking, it's a party in the running back room. So, we're looking to have that same joy him and Jahmyr Gibbs had bringing it down here in Houston."

Montgomery and Gibbs combined for 1,939 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns last season, with Montgomery being responsible for 716 yards and eight touchdowns.

"Love him as a back, watched him a couple times, him and Jahmyr Gibbs, see how they complement each other," Marks said of Montgomery. "We reached out to each other already, just time to get to work. Having another back in the backfield is always good. There's less I can take off of my body and there's less he can take off his body, and we're just ready to get to work."

Marks, a fourth-round draft pick in 2025, had a solid rookie year with 703 yards and two touchdowns. He served as the No. 1 option alongside Nick Chubb, but his role alongside veteran Montgomery this year remains to be seen.
