The 2024 Pro Bowl is underway and C.J. Stroud has returned to doing C.J. Stroud things.
After a phenomenal rookie year for the Houston Texans that is likely to earn him Offensive Rookie of the Year honors, Stroud decided that the hardware and an AFC Playoff win wasn’t enough.
He’s been dominant during his second-quarter appearance for the AFC Pro Bowl team under coach Peyton Manning and, on his second drive, showed off what makes him so special.
Doesn't get much more impressive than this 😮

The rookie quarterback rolled to his left against pressure and fired a dime into the endzone for Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase. It was a throw that originally had the announcers wondering if it would be complete and instead left no doubt.

The ball placement specialist has transitioned seamlessly to the NFL and Houston fans can watch one last glimpse of his dominance on ESPN before transitioning to the 2024 off-season.
Stroud threw a touchdown pass to Los Angeles Chargers Keenan Allen earlier in the Pro Bowl, too.
