Houston Texans rookie quarterback is having perhaps the most impressive season of any NFL rookie quarterback ever and captivates fans whenever he takes the field. But teammate Tank Dell has been impressed by what Stroud is doing when nobody is watching.
During a recent phone interview with Pro Football Talk, Tank Dell explained just how hard C.J. Stroud works during the week to prepare for the upcoming game.
“He just puts that extra time and his preparation is amazing,” Dell said during an interview with Pro Football Talk. “He’d just sent us videos all throughout the night. It’s like eleven at night, almost midnight, and he’s still sending us clips of how their defense is playing and telling us how we should adjust and things like that. I’d say it’s preparation, but then his swagger, he have that confidence about himself that he can be one of the best in the league. So, I’d say all that mixed in with each other.”
But it’s not just Stroud preparing himself – he makes sure everyone is preparing for the upcoming game just like he is, as well.
“He makes everybody prepare well and you have to when you have a quarterback preparing well, and he has the biggest responsibility,” Dell said. “You’re going to want to go out there and prepare well each and every week, for sure.”
You can certainly see the fruits of that preparation on Sundays.
