TOP PLAYERS
RB Mark Thompson
LB Beniquez Brown
RJ YOUNG'S TAKE
When he was healthy, Thompson proved to be the most physical and dependable runner coach Sumlin had on the roster. Thompson, who rushed for 463 yards on 114 carries in 2022, could be put to further use in Sumlin's spread offense that offers opportunities for screen and swing routes for backs.
The Gamblers were at their most dominant when the defense showed its ability to wreck opposing offensive lines and make tackles in the backfield. If Sumlin can put together a unit as dominant as last year's and get just a little more production out of the offense than he did last, Houston could push its way into the playoffs.
