Houston Texans fans hoping the team will take a quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick should be feeling good after some notable NFL draft news emerged Monday morning.
Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud—a two-time Heisman Trophy finalist who threw for 8,123 yards and 85 touchdowns with just 12 interceptions over the last two years—announced via social media that he is declaring for the NFL draft. Stroud, along with Alabama's Bryce Young, is largely viewed as one of the top two quarterback prospects in this year's class.
Stroud's decision came on the final day for underclassmen to declare for the NFL draft, allowing the quarterback-hungry segment of the Texans faithful to breathe a sigh of relief.
