The Houston Texans have history on their side with QB CJ Stroud

The Houston Texans really couldn’t have asked for more from quarterback CJ Stroud in his rookie year.

After being selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Stroud led the Texans to a 10-7 season, which resulted in another AFC South title for Houston after finishing 3-13-1 the previous year.

In the playoffs, Stroud joined an elite group of starting quarterbacks to win a playoff game, and being part of that group should help the Texans again in 2024.

“Last season, CJ Stroud became the 8th rookie quarterback since 1950 to win a playoff game,” ESPN insider Adam Schefter tweeted. “Good news for Houston? Five of the previous seven quarterbacks also won a playoff game in their second season and two of them, Ben Roethlisberger and Russell Wilson, won the Super Bowl, according to @EpKap.”

Now, with a full offseason under his belt and a shiny new receiver in Stefon Diggs, the Texans’ offense should improve even more in 2024. Add in an improved defense with Danielle Hunter and Azeez Al-Shaair and Stroud could certainly double, triple or quadruple his playoff win total this season.
