Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud made his professional debut on Thursday night against the Patriots as the team kicked off preseason action.
Stroud’s performance against a solid Patriots defense left much to be desired. In two series, Stroud finished 2-for-4 passing for 13 yards and an interception.
Despite the interception, Stroud remained positive after his first outing. He thought his debut was “solid” and called the errant pass that was intercepted by Patriots DB Jalen Mills a “learning opportunity.”
