CJ Stroud breaks down in tears at NFL Draft and makes vow to Houston Texans

CJ Stroud was moved to tears after being made the second overall pick in Thursday's 2023 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans.

The Texans stole the show in Kansas City by getting their new quarterback in Stroud before trading up from 12 to number three to take edge rusher Will Anderson Jr, and Ohio State standout Stroud could not contain his emotions after getting the phone call from head coach DeMeco Ryans and general manager Nick Caserio.

The 21-year-old broke down in tears of joy after receiving the life-changing news in the green room before sharing the moment with his loved ones and heading onto the stage and embracing league commissioner Roger Goodell.
