“You can get involved just by going on my foundation page,” Marks said. “Put smiles on people’s faces.”
His message to the community?
“Just stay level-headed,” Marks said. “Stay in school. This world we live in, we need everybody. Just stay in school, get good grades, and then see what life takes you on to that with whatever major you want to go into, whatever you want to do in life, no matter if it’s a football player or a doctor, just do what’s good for you, and just strive to be the best
Marks went bowling with the Texans’ running backs and running backs-assistant head coach Danny Barrett.
“That was pretty fun,” Marks said.
Marks won the bowling competition versus his teammates, but the standout was Barrett.
“Coach DB, he pretty good,” Marks said. “Yeah, he got it. He was pretty good.”
