The Houston Texans state that C.J. Stroud has actually not yet vanquished Davis Mills for the position of beginning quarterback. Fans who saw the No. 2 choice’s preseason action Sunday night would argue otherwise.
Against the New Orleans Saints, Stroud went 2-of-4 for 16 backyards and his very first goal on an NFL field.

What a gorgeous deep ball from C.J. Stroud down the sideline to Nico Collins, who had male protection. Where just he might get it. Collins could not come down with it, however. << a href=" https://twitter.com/hashtag/Texans?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">> #Texans<

The only method C.J Stroud might’ve provided Nico Collins a much better deep ball, is if he strolled up and handed to him. << br><> < br>> Collins simply wasn’t able to hold on for the catch.

CJ Stroud appeared like a beginning NFL QB today. I understand it was short. He looked far and away the finest he has actually looked so far IMO. Strong development. Extremely happy.
Greg Bailey @GregBailey13
Great work from CJ Stroud. Saw the defense and tossed decisively in 2 drives. On time and on target for his 1st TD pass in a << a href=" https://twitter.com/hashtag/Texans?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">> #Texans< uniform.
The next time Stroud takes the field for the Texans, it will be to make his regular-season NFL launching.
Houston handles the Baltimore Ravens for a Week 1 contest on September10 All that is delegated choose is whether it will be Stroud or Mills taking the very first breeze. Based upon the response to his preseason success, fans are wishing for the previous.
