Houston Texans QB CJ Stroud on how he prepared himself for success

Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud had an incredible performance in his rookie season, putting up historic numbers en route to winning the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award. Stroud’s success is no accident.

Stroud was a highly touted quarterback coming out of high school and later enrolled at Ohio State, becoming the Buckeyes’ starting quarterback by his sophomore season. Stroud started two seasons for Ohio State finishing in the top five in Heisman voting twice before being selected by the Texans second overall in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Being decorated like this throughout your career as a quarterback doesn’t happen by chance. Stroud has demonstrated his success and according to him, it starts with being able to see your goals, turn them into achievements and see your small successes become big successes.

Although Stroud has enjoyed so much success thus far throughout his football journey, he has yet to achieve the ultimate goal of winning a championship. He failed to do so in his two seasons at Ohio State and fell short during his rookie playoff campaign last season.

One thing is for sure now, Stroud will likely have his best chance at winning that coveted championship this season with the Houston Texans, as the team has gone all-in to build one of the best teams in the league. If Stroud can maintain his level of play from a season ago, he and the Texans will be one of the NFL’s biggest contenders for the Lombardi Trophy.
