British Brooks enters his second season with the Houston Texans as a fullback and aims to secure a position on the roster during training camp. His role has been versatile, serving in multiple formations despite limited offensive snaps in 2025. With the Texans' offensive strategy evolving under offensive coordinator Nick Caley, Brooks is adapting by shedding weight and potentially competing for a third running back spot. His utility on special teams and his blocking skills make him a critical asset as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
