Marvin Harrison Jr.
(Texans Debut Thoughts)
12 snaps. 4 targets. 3 catches, 34 yards. Every catch moved the chains.
• Half his snaps were run blocks. On a slot stalk block and a goal-line rep, he drove his man out of the play. A+ Effort.
• (Q2 6:14, Q3 12:59) Smooth underneath. He beat his man on a shallow cross and settled into a soft spot in the zone on a dig.
• (Q3 10:52) Houston trusted him already: 3rd & 2 in the red zone, and he moved the sticks.
• On a deep post route, he got behind his man but wasn't targeted. Stroud took the check down and moved the chains. At the very least, it showed there was potential for a bigger day.
• (Q2 5:47) He didn't separate on a curl, and Jarrian Jones drove on it for the PBU.
It wasn't a lot to give a true evaluation, but he showed he's willing and ready to do his job one week in.
C.J. Stroud said, "It felt like old times… we'll get him more touches and more plays here in the season."
"Felt like old times" has a real chance to blossom into something. I'm truly rooting for the guy to succeed.
