Hall of Fame WR Expects Big Things From Marvin Harrison Jr. After Texans Trade

Hall of Fame WR Cris Carter believes Marvin Harrison Jr. will thrive in his new role after being traded to the Houston Texans.

Marvin Harrison Jr., a former Ohio State star and wide receiver, has been struggling to meet the high expectations set for him throughout his career. This led the Arizona Cardinals to cut him and trade him to the Houston Texans. However, former NFL wide receiver Cris Carter believes Harrison Jr. has the potential to thrive in his new environment.

Carter, who played alongside Harrison at Ohio State, noticed Harrison's lack of commitment to running his routes during his time in Arizona. This could change, according to Carter, when Harrison joins the Texans, who are led by DeMeco Ryans and play alongside quarterback CJ Stroud. Carter believes this is the perfect situation for Harrison to succeed, stating, "I don't think there could be a better situation."

Despite the Texans' recent underperformance, Carter points out that the team has a strong roster and playoff experience, with the Texans having reached the postseason for the past three seasons. The Texans' Week 6 game against the AFC South-leading Jacksonville Jaguars in London will be crucial for Harrison's impact in his new organization.
