C.J. Stroud, a rookie quarterback for the Houston Texans, has been making waves in the NFL. He has set records and garnered praise for his performances, including becoming the first rookie in NFL history to throw for 300-plus yards in four consecutive games. Despite his success, his potential long-term rivalry with Jacksonville Jaguars' quarterback Trevor Lawrence has garnered attention. Lawrence has expressed a lack of excitement about facing Stroud twice a year, expressing a preference for the teams in their division to have bad quarterbacks. Despite this, Stroud's impressive stats and performances have led to discussions about his potential as the Offensive Rookie of the Year and his ability to break records set by veteran quarterbacks.
CJ Stroud leads the NFL with 54 completions of 20+ yards. Very few predicted that in Year 1. When it comes to evaluating the jump QB prospects have to make from CFB to NFL, projection is just about everything. Stats are fun to look at, but the college & NFL games are not alike.
Stroud played great again. For a rookie, I’m constantly amazed by his accuracy and poise under pressure, with both being demonstrated against the Jaguars. Stroud is wise beyond his 22 years.

If CJ Stroud averages 185 yards over his last 6 games, he'll break Andrew Luck's rookie passing record. His story is remarkable: “He didn’t have a lot of clothes or shoes. He didn’t have the private QB coach or the 7-on-7 teams...He did it all himself" https://t.co/RJfztqg0MD
