The Houston Texans finished the 2023 season with a 10-7 record, a remarkable difference from their 2022 record of 3-13-1.
While there were several reasons for the Texans’ year-over-year change, one of the most prominent was the play of C.J. Stroud.
Stroud ended up winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year award, as he was instrumental to the team’s success.
Johnny Manziel was recently asked about Stroud at a celebrity softball game in Houston, where he said he is a “Great player, unbelievable dude.”

Manziel was, at one time, one of the most electrifying players in college football.
While he had some unorthodox on-field behaviors, he was beloved by fans, and an icon in the sport.
He might not have had a long NFL career, but he has seen a lot of great young quarterbacks throughout his time in college and in the NFL.
If he thinks this highly of Stroud, it will likely bode well for his career moving forward.
Having a competent quarterback on a roster is crucial for a team’s success, and the Texans seem to have found their guy in Stroud.
He has already brought the Texans to the playoffs, and he even was able to win a playoff game against the Cleveland Browns.
Fans are excited to see what he can do moving forward, and if the Texans can keep this level of play up in 2024 and beyond.
The AFC South is filled with young quarterbacks who have been given high praise early in their careers, so fans will see if Stroud can keep up with them.
