Texans lineup projection with Marvin Harrison Jr.: Can C.J. Stroud salvage ex-Ohio State teammate's NFL career?

Marvin Harrison Jr. is trying to reboot his NFL career with the Houston Texans after being the No. 4 overall pick in 2024 and failing to meet expectations with the Arizona Cardinals. The Texans could be a fit because of recurring wide-receiver injuries and the need for additional playmakers around quarterback C.J. Stroud, who is having his best season since his rookie year in 2023. The trade reportedly sent Harrison to Houston in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick and a sixth-round pick. The article links the move to Stroud’s familiarity with Harrison from Ohio State, where Harrison had 77 catches for 1,263 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2022. With Nico Collins performing at an elite level and other targets sidelined by knee injuries, Harrison’s role could grow, at least as injuries force Houston to reshuffle its depth chart.
