Most Clutch City sports fans know who David Mulugheta is, and that is why there was some doubt the Houston Texans would take C.J. Stroud.
Mulugheta is the agent for the Texans’ previous franchise quarterback, who had an otherwise messy departure from Houston. The saga kept the Texans in a phantom zone for the first season of general manager Nick Caserio’s tenure.
However, it appears bygones may be bygones in the Stroud era. The former Ohio State signal caller says Mulugheta has been positive about the organization.
“He’s told me a lot of great things,” Stroud said on a Zoom with Houston media. “He told me Nick Caserio is a great GM, the McNairs are great ownership, and thank you to them for giving me this opportunity. So, he had a lot of positive things to say and I’m excited to get to work, and I’m super excited to be a Texan.”
Stroud is the first quarterback taken in the first round by Houston since 2017 when they took Mulugheta’s other client.
