Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud revealed his message to New England Patriots rookie signal-caller Drake Maye on Sunday.
"Yeah, I gave him a little word, you know, tried to give him a little word of encouragement," Stroud said after the Texans' 41-21 win over the Patriots, per Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston. "I thought he played really solid, you know. Definitely feel like he'll get better and better as he keeps going."
Maye wasn't perfect in the first NFL start of his career, but he still showed why the Patriots selected him with the No.
