Fomer USC WR Robert Woods could be C.J. Stroud’s trusted target with Texans

Woods played for a veteran QB with the Rams (Matt Stafford). Now he moves to the other side of the spectrum with the Texans.

The Houston Texans continued to overhaul their roster this offseason with the free agent addition of former Trojan wide receiver, Robert Woods, who will be joining his fourth NFL team this year.

Woods was initially drafted by the Buffalo Bills with the 41st overall pick in the second round in 2013.

Woods is a 10-year veteran who has previously played for the Buffalo Bills, L.A. Rams and Tennessee Titans. He has 623 catches for 7,604 yards and 37 touchdowns in his career. He has two seasons of more than 1,000 receiving yards, both coming with the Rams (2018 and 2019).

Woods will be the veteran leader in a young receiver room that includes Nico Collins and John Metchie. It is notabe that Metchie is expected to make his NFL debut this coming season after sitting out his rookie year due to a leukemia diagnosis.

The 30-year-old wideout will likely play with a rookie quarterback from day one: former Ohio State start and No. 2 overall pick C.J. Stroud. I think Woods will bounce back and have another 1,000-yard season as a reliable wideout in the Texans’ new regime.
