Preseason NFL football is a good opportunity for rookies to get their NFL career underway, and former Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud is among those doing just that.
After getting drafted second overall to the Houston Texans, Stroud has a tall task ahead of him to turn around a franchise that has struggled in recent years. However, as Buckeye fans saw the last two years, Stroud has all the tools to develop into a very good NFL quarterback.
Stroud played in his last preseason game against the New Orleans Saints. He attempted just four passes and played two drives total, but he recorded his first NFL touchdown on a play-action toss to Nico Collins for a 3-yard touchdown.
