Reports out of Houston have to be music to Texans fans ears so far this offseason.
After making a splash in the first round of the draft by landing Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud and Alabama’s Will Anderson, Stroud has reportedly really left an impression on the team’s coaching staff and roster thus far.
“Coaches and front-office have seen other players, even the vets, gravitating toward Stroud, who’s easygoing and comfortable as a leader,” said MMQB’s Albert Breer.
