It’s hard to say a top 2 pick in the NFL draft is an underdog. It’s easier to expect that once said pick hits the field with the team that presumably performed so poorly the prior year they earned a top 2 pick. It’s even easier when the front office of said team had the amount of toxic drama seen in NRG stadium over the last decade. Conventional wisdom says don’t expect said team to field a top 10 offense.
But guess what?
Houston Texans’ C.J. Stroud is a top 10 quarterback in the NFL.
CJ Stroud currently has more passing yards (1,212) than Justin Herbert and Josh Allen.
