Texans rookie QB C.J. Stroud throws INT right away, struggles in NFL preseason debut

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud's NFL career will have plenty of highlights. That means it's only uphill from how it started.

Stroud, the second overall pick of the NFL Draft out of Ohio State, threw an interception on the first preseason series of his NFL career. Veteran New England Patriots safety Jalen Mills read Stroud and broke on his third-and-21 pass downfield, grabbing an easy interception. Stroud will learn from that mistake. The safeties are a lot more aware than they were in the Big Ten.
