Houston Texans rookie C.J. Stroud had a forgettable preseason debut. Not only did the No. 2 overall pick have just two drives against the New England Patriots in the 20-9 win, but they were quick and marred with mistakes.
Stroud gave analysts something to consider in his second preseason game. Despite the Miami Dolphins thrashing the Texans 28-3, Stroud played the entire first half and compiled a respectable stat line of 7-of-12 for 60 yards.
