C.J. Stroud Reacts to Texans Acquiring Ex-Ohio State Teammate Marvin Harrison Jr.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud expressed his delight over the team's recent acquisition of former Ohio State teammate Marvin Harrison Jr. The Texans traded for Harrison and a 2027 seventh-round pick in return for a 2027 second-round and sixth-round pick from the Arizona Cardinals. Stroud praised Harrison's skills, calling him a dynamic playmaker who excels at running routes and catching any ball.

He also spoke favorably of Harrison's work ethic, character, and presence off the field. The two had a strong bond during their time at Ohio State, and Stroud sees this as an opportunity for Harrison to flourish in his new environment. Being reunited with Stroud is perfect for Harrison, according to the quarterback. With the Texans in need of an additional wide receiver, taking a chance on a young talent like Harrison appears justified.

Harrison has shown promise thus far, with one touchdown, five receptions, and 85 receiving yards in just four games this season. It remains to be seen whether reconnecting with Stroud will propel him to new heights in the NFL.
