C.J. Stroud on reuniting with Marvin Harrison Jr.: It's perfect for him

The Houston Texans officially acquired wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals, a move that reunites him with quarterback C.J.

Stroud after their collegiate days at Ohio State. Stroud, who led the Buckeyes to a standout 2022 season with Harrison as his top target (77 catches, 1,263 yards, 14 touchdowns), praised the addition as a perfect fit.

'He’s a dynamic playmaker with elite route-running and the ability to make any throw look like a highlight,' Stroud said following Houston’s 26-3 victory over the Titans. Harrison, a 2024 first-round pick, enters the NFL with 108 career receptions for 1,578 yards and 13 touchdowns, though he appeared sparingly in his rookie year with Arizona.

The Texans’ coach, DeMeco Ryans, confirmed the trade with a playful quip mid-press conference, signaling excitement for the new chapter ahead for both players.
