Houston Texans' Ogunbowale: Value Beyond Carries

0:00On March 30th, the Houston Texans been stacking their offense this off season, locking in key players from last year and grabbing fresh talent. But one name still floating free is veteran running back, Dare Ogambawale, their 2025 team captain and special team star. No deal yet from Houston or anyone else. He's been huge on special teams, playing all 17 games last season and tying his career high and snaps there. Offensively, his workload dipped low with just 11 carries, for 25 yards, a touchdown, and a fumble. Still, his leadership in the locker room stands out. Fans and analysts see his value beyond carries, especially with coordinator Frank Ross relying on him. That captain nod shows he's got that respected voice in the huddle, keeping the team tight. Right now, the Texans got four running backs locked, David Montgomery as the upgrade, plus Woody Marks, British Brookes, and Jahar Jordan. Depth looks similar to last year, and with a draft picks coming, they might add youth instead.

1:01Bringing Ogambawale back on a cheap one-year deal makes sense to compete in camp, unless they snag another back. Keeps that special team's edge sharp heading into 2026. Football news, powered by AI. This is NFL News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
