HOUSTON — Even though Houston Texans third-string quarterback Case Keenum may not see much playing time this season, he’s seen enough to know what a high-level NFL quarterback looks like.
And Keenum believes that No. 2 overall draft pick C.J. Stroud is well on his way to meeting expectations.
“Some of his best plays come after a mistake … I’ve been very impressed with his unwavering focus on getting better every day and his confidence. So he’s done a great job,” Keenum said Monday.
Head coach DeMeco Ryans told NFL Media after Monday’s practice that Stroud would be the Texans' starting quarterback over Davis Mills in Thursday’s preseason opener at the New England Patriots.
