C.J. Stroud was wrong when he said, “I’m a football player … not an S2 taker.”
Stroud is a special football player, one who could be an all-time great when it’s all said and done. And it’s not too soon to make that assessment because of what Stroud displayed throughout a dominant rookie season that will continue for at least another week after another remarkable performance Saturday night.
Stroud was again special during the 23–19 road victory against the Indianapolis Colts to clinch the Houston Texans’ first postseason appearance since 2019. The football world waited 18 weeks to see Stroud in a prime-time game, and now, because of his heroics in Indianapolis, we get to see the rookie sensation under the bright lights next week in a playoff game.
