Houston Texans ROOKIE quarterback C.J. Stroud is something else on and off the field. This young guy is fun to watch and seems like a great human being in general. That's a mixture that creates a great leader for any NFL team and the Texans surely have a great one on their hands. Stroud was praising God after a regular season victory. He later went into the NFL Wild Card playoffs and got himself a win, becoming the youngest quarterback to ever win an NFL playoff game. That man made history!! KRQE reported on Stroud's success:
The rookie became the youngest quarterback to win a playoff game after throwing for 274 yards and three touchdowns, and the Houston Texans returned two interceptions by Joe Flacco for scores in a 45-14 rout of the Cleveland Browns in a wild-card matchup Saturday.
“C.J. is the reason why we’re in this position,” coach DeMeco Ryans said. “He’s special, a special young man. Special player. Continues to shine no matter how big the moment is.
“Our whole team is leaning on him and he has the shoulders to carry that weight.”
Stroud, the second overall pick in the draft last April, is also the highest-drafted rookie QB to win in the postseason. He picked apart Cleveland’s vaunted defense, throwing touchdown passes of 15 yards to Nico Collins, 76 to Brevin Jordan and 37 to Dalton Schultz.
“It’s been a heck of a year and I thank God, I can just go another week with my teammates,” Stroud said. “This is like a dream come true.”
