C.J. Stroud left Ohio State as one of the greatest to ever sling the rock for the Buckeyes and that has translated early in his NFL career with the Houston Texans. During his collegiate career, he loaded up his trophy case with plenty of honors including twice being named an All-American and twice earning Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year. During his rookie season with Houston, he has already been named to a Pro Bowl and earned NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Last season no one knew what to expect, but this year the Texans have a huge target on its back and Stroud’s talents are less of a secret. He recently spoke on the increased expectations and how he deals with them and mentioned his alma mater. “We have a target on our back this year. That’s how you should want it and that’s what I’m used to, playing at Ohio State.”
CJ Stroud has a handshake for ALL of his teammates. 👀
Is this proof that he’s ALREADY the best leader in the NFL? 🧐😏💯
