'We drafted the right guy': Texans QB C.J. Stroud makes history
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud made history during Sunday's 37-17 upset of the Jacksonville Jaguars after he went 20-for-30 for 280 yards and two touchdowns.
The outing made him the first quarterback in NFL history to have at least 900 passing yards, four pass touchdowns and zero interceptions in his first three career starts, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
Stroud's production doesn't surprise any of his teammates. Tight end Brevin Jordan, who caught a touchdown pass in the win, pinpointed the game that ultimately led the Texans to draft Stroud and called it a franchise-altering day.
