First, it was Glen Powell.
Now, it’s C.J. Stroud.
The Houston Texans quarterback joined Grammy Award-winning country artist Luke Combs on stage at NRG Stadium for night No. 2 of his back-to-back sellout crowd concert.
Several other Texans players joined the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year on stage, as did CEO and owner Cal McNair. Known for shotgunning beers with a select few folks before one of his hit songs, Combs toasted McNair before ripping one back.
CJ Stroud and the boys joined Luke Combs tonight and #Texans owner Cal McNair shotgunned a bear on stage!

Stroud looked the part of a native Texan, donning a white cowboy hat and Carhartt jacket. Several other Texans players were also seen wearing similar attire, embracing the culture of life at the home of the largest rodeo in the state.
It was a moment to remember for both Stroud and McNair, two fixtures of last season’s turnaround under first-year coach DeMeco Ryans. Fans cheered when Stroud took the stage, but erupted when McNair shotgunned on stage to cap off a memorable evening.

Combs might be gone, but the Texans have arrived following their 11-day road trip away from home. They’ll host the New York Giants on August 17 for their preseason home opener.
Kickoff is scheduled for noon CT.
