Texans' Carlos Hyde grateful to be counted on after bouncing around NFL

Carlos Hyde has grown accustomed to sudden change, being traded twice and playing for four different NFL teams over the past year.

Emerging as the Texans' primary running back is significant to Hyde, who was acquired via a trade from the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for offensive lineman Martinas Rankin.

Hyde has excelled for his new employer. He's on pace to have the best season of his career having already rushed for 704 yards and three touchdowns with seven games remaining in the season.

Hyde is averaging a career-high 4.7 yards per carry one year after being traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
