There is a new era for the Houston Texans.
Following the preseason game against the Saints, the Texans announced that the number two overall pick C.J. Stroud would be their starter. This was expected to be the case for most of the offseason, but not there is an officiality to it.
There is hope that Stroud will be the change that the Texans need. The two time Heisman finalist had two very successful seasons at Ohio State, and will look to translate some of that skill to the next level.
The Texans have just won 11 games combined over the last three seasons. Ever since the whole Deshaun Watson situation, the Texans have been looking for their next guy. Davis Mills looked to be that at points, but ultimately he did not do enough to get it done.
It will be an exciting time to see if C.J. Stroud can break the Ohio State quarterback stigma. While they may not be the best this year, this could be a great foundation building year for Stroud and the Texans.
C.J. Stroud started each of the Texans’ three preseason games, but his performance in New Orleans was the first one where he truly looked settled. Stroud finished the preseason with 89 passing yards, a touchdown, and interception on 11-of-20 passing. He has displayed continual improvement each week, which has to have the Texans looking forward to Week 1.
