The Texans selected Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud with the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
There was much conjecture as to where the Buckeyes’ star signal-caller would land in the weeks leading up to the draft. Once favored to be taken first overall, Stroud’s reputation took a hit in the media in recent weeks. It began with rumors that he is difficult to coach and that he ghosted the Manning passing academy. Last week, it was also revealed that Stroud had the lowest score on the S2 Cognition test for quarterbacks. His 18% paled in comparison to the test’s highest scorer, Bryce Young, who scored 98% and was drafted first overall by the Panthers.
