FORMER OHIO STATE QUARTERBACK C.J. STROUD FEELS HE’S “CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP” ENTERING SECOND SEASON WITH HOUSTON TEXANS​

All the accolades that C.J. Stroud achieved a year ago can make it difficult to remember that he’s still a learning and developing NFL quarterback.

There’s a definite difference between getting cleats on the ground in a new facility, acclimating to professional life and proving one’s mettle the offseason before a rookie year and entering the summer in year two as the face of a franchise.

Now, Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik are trusting Stroud to fully drive their offense in 2024. And Stroud feels the contrast between this year’s OTAs and last year’s.

“It’s night and day, man,” Stroud said on June 4. “I feel like I’m running the show, and I’ve got a lot more responsibilities from (Slowik) and from DeMeco, from (quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson), Bill (Lazor) and really our whole offensive staff. I’m the captain of the ship, and I’ve gotta run it the right way. I feel like I’ve stepped into that role of not only holding other guys accountable but holding myself accountable to those moments. I don’t let anything slide.”
