C.J. Stroud, the quarterback for the Houston Texans, faced controversy after NBC edited out his mention of Jesus Christ in a post-game interview. Stroud responded with grace, emphasizing love and prayer for everyone. He also revealed a close bond with Snoop Dogg. Despite the backlash, Stroud remains focused on showing love and standing for his beliefs. The Texans' offensive brain trust and QB coach Jerrod Johnson have played significant roles in Stroud's development, and he had a big night at the Houston Sports Awards.
From The Insiders on @NFLNetwork: It was a big day for the #Texans, as their offensive brain trust sticks around. https://t.co/S0ZbBHfa6N
This got a bit lost in the Ben Johnson news, but it's a massive plus for the Texans. Slowik created a killer offense with multiple facets despite several receiver injuries and an offensive line that was up-and-down. Very excited to see what C.J. Stroud does in Year 2 with that… https://t.co/Hxj1eVCdBX

“I’ve known Jerrod since I was 16,” Stroud said about QB coach Jerrod Johnson. “One thing that I can say about Jerrod, you talk about somehow who knows how to play the position of quarterback and knows how to relay something, but also just a great person.#Texans #Sarge https://t.co/VoR3b5nFaw
