New Texans WR Christian Kirk: C.J. Stroud will ‘take this team as far as we want to go’
Our Summary
Christian Kirk, recently traded to the Houston Texans from the Jacksonville Jaguars, is optimistic about quarterback C.J. Stroud's potential despite his sophomore slump. Kirk praises Stroud's confidence, intelligence, and communication skills, which are vital for a quarterback. In 2024, Stroud's performance dipped compared to his rookie year, but he still led the Texans to the AFC Divisional Round. Kirk, seeking redemption after an injury-plagued season, joins a transformed Texans wide receiver corps alongside Nico Collins and new rookies. The Texans also have a strong running back lineup with Joe Mixon and Nick Chubb, and a formidable defense led by pass-rushers Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter. Kirk is eager to contribute and believes in Stroud's ability to lead the team to success.
