The Houston Texans recently shook things up by trading for Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. The move comes amid Houston's brutal start to the season, with the team sitting at 1-4 after finally picking up a win over the weekend vs the Tennessee Titans.
Now, fans have gotten their first look at teammates Harrison and quarterback CJ Stroud, who are reunited after having previously played together in college at Ohio State.

Harrison Jr. and Stroud formed one of the most lethal tandems in the college football landscape during their time together as Buckeyes, and came very close to knocking off the eventual national champion Georgia Bulldogs during the 2022-23 season.
Harrison Jr. hasn't had the start to his career in the NFL that he was hoping for so far, and Stroud is also looking to prove the doubters wrong after regressing significantly since his stellar rookie season.

The Texans are clearly willing to try anything at this point as they look to bounce back from a rough opening act for the second straight year. Last year, the Texans started out 0-3 and still made the playoffs, but this time around, they'll have to dig out of an 0-4 hole.
They'll get their next opportunity to do so on Sunday morning with a tough game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
