C.J. Stroud is capturing the attention of the NFL world with his dominant showings, and he’s already caught the attention of one longtime NFL quarterback.
During an interview with Peter King for his Football Morning in America column this week, longtime NFL backup quarterback Chase Daniel explained partially why the Texans offense has been so successful this season.
“They’re so good at isolating matchups and attacking defenses like they haven’t been attacked very much,” Daniels told King.
But obviously, there’s one big reason why the Texans have been so successful this season: rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud.
Stroud is the runaway favorite to win the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award. But more than that, he might actually be in the running for the league’s MVP Award with the way that he’s been playing. As Daniel explains, Stroud hasn’t just been successful as a rookie quarterback, he’s been successful as an overall NFL quarterback.
“He’s a rookie quarterback putting up these numbers, and he doesn’t look or sound like a rookie quarterback in anything he does,” Daniel said. “He’s not playing well for a rookie—he’s playing well for any quarterback.”
It’s safe to say that Stroud has a long NFL career ahead of him.
