Houston Texans WR Stefon Diggs ‘can open up the game,’ says CJ Stroud

The Houston Texans showed their commitment to building around quarterback CJ Stroud this offseason by trading wide receiver Stefon Diggs from the Buffalo Bills.

Diggs is one of the NFL’s best receivers, and he’ll now catch passes from Stroud, who believes his new target will make the Texans even more dynamic than they were a year ago.

“Yeah, Stef is somebody that can really open up your playbook,” Stroud said. “But we have all these guys around us. He’ll say that, too. So, he’s a five-headed monster. It’s really cool to just have a bunch of options.”

Stroud’s message is simple but profound. The Texans are proving they have a full roster and removing Diggs as their top option means Houston can be incredibly dangerous in the AFC.

It’s clear the offensive players have a Super Bowl on their minds, and that type of confidence should spread throughout the team.

The Texans are currently in training camp, preparing for the Hall of Fame game on Thursday, Aug. 1 in Canton, Ohio, against No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears.
