The Houston Texans look ready to turn their season around headed into Week 6. Houston got their first win of the season on Sunday while also acquiring Marvin Harrison Jr. in a trade. That huge transaction has one Texans player absolutely thrilled for how much the offense could improve.
Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud certainly seems happy to be reunited with his former college teammate.
“Excited to have my guy back and get rolling,” Stroud said on Wednesday, per Texans reporter Aaron Wilson.
Stroud and Harrison were an electric duo at Ohio State. Texans fans have to be excited about the possibility of that duo reigniting their spark in the NFL.
Of course, the perception of Harrison has changed a lot since he entered the league. Harrison had a solid rookie season, but has struggled to find success with the Cardinals over the past two seasons. Some have even suggested that Harrison is already a bust of a draft pick.
But don't say that around Stroud. The veteran quarterback still has a lot of confidence in Harrison as they begin a new journey together in Houston.
