The Houston Texans are not done making free agency moves, even a few days before the NFL Draft kicks off. They focus on the draft, but we see they are always trying to improve.

Nick Caserio has proved this offseason that he deserves the job after many fans doubted him. This recent move will fly under the radar, but it's a good one nonetheless.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Texans are re-signing Dare Ogunbowale to a one-year deal. Ogunbowale was a core piece of the Texans' special teams unit and a decent third-down running back who could move the chains at times by running the ball or even catching a pass from the backfield.

Ogunbowale finished with seven special teams tackles last season. While that is impressive, that's not the only thing he did on special teams.

Ogunbowale also finished with a field goal and kicked six kickoffs. Having a Swiss army knife-like his back will help the Texans.
