Marvin Harrison Jr. shows what he can provide to Texans in debut

Harrison won't have as much pressure on him in Houston 

And unlike his situation in Arizona, Harrison will be able to try to develop a chemistry with Stroud without the pressure of having to be the top option every week for Houston. Playing alongside Collins and the rest of the Texans' receiver room will also open up space and opportunities as games develop for Harrison. 

But no matter who he's playing with in his fresh start, more than what Harrison has been able to produce early in his career is expected from a fourth overall pick out of Ohio State who has the added lineage of being the son of a Pro Football Hall of Famer from the same position. 

Harrison only brought in 41 balls for 608 yards with four scores in his sophomore NFL season in 2025, a drop-off from his solid rookie year. He recorded 62 receptions for 885 yards with eight touchdowns in 2024.

But at only 24 and with two 1,000-plus-yard seasons in college on his resume, it's certainly still possible, and even likely, that the Texans won't regret giving up their 2027 second- and seventh-round selections for a weapon with first-round talent.
