From commanding the field with the levels of Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes to sitting at dinners with Meek Mill, Kim Kardashian, Michael Rubin…CJ Stroud has had one helluva Rookie year and is just getting started.
Heading into Super Bowl week, the talk and hype is always around quarterbacks, with this year being no different as Brock Purdy and Patrick Mahomes headline Super Bowl 58…usually for QBs it’s experience that lands you in the post season but for CJ Stroud, the front runner for NFL Rookie of the year, seems to have defied the odds and made a name for himself as one of the elite QBs in the league and led the Texans to post season success.
There is nothing basic about being a quarterback in the NFL and CJ is giving credit where credit is due and talks why Brock Purdy has earned where he is but why he is still taking Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in this Sunday’s big game. but more than anything, he is reflecting back on a historical first year in the NFL and it’s not lost on him where he comes from and how it all started.
CJ who was drafted to the Houston Texans 2nd overall last year, perception pointed to this scenario as being the worst to go to for any of the rookie quarterbacks but CJ proved that theory wrong and let his on-field play and leadership, take the Texans to the playoffs. The Pivot crew sat with CJ at the 2023 NFL Draft and instantly knew this young man was different. Fast forward 10 months and CJ is now sitting with Ryan, Fred and Channing, as part of the league’s top players and eager to keep getting better and growing.
Stroud forged his own path this season, and with staple wins against Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Tampa Bay, there seemed to be a unanimous call for him to be the Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Many athletes talk about blocking out the noise, but CJ has learned to embrace the good with the bad and using the chatter as fuel for his game. With strong faith and an extra-motivated Houston Texans team, CJ earned the trust and respect of his teammates by coming through in big moments.
The personal growth has matched his success in the league as being a strong voice in culture, Whether he’s speaking out on prison reform or being a role model for young people who look like him and come from where he does, CJ approaches everything in life with passion and positivity after being in the darkest times as a young person.

I love that CJ mentions a little girl looking up to him. I have a 7 year old daughter that loves football. She’s a longtime Chiefs fan, but her first flag football team was the Texans. She watched CJ’s Texans games all season and looks up to him now. Especially since he’s an IE kid. Thanks for acknowledging the little girls that look up to you too CJ! ❤

WOW!! This young man has it all!! He should never be counted out. I have a young son and if he ever expresses interest in being a quarterback, C.J. will definitely be one that I will have him study. C.J.’s attention to detail and the cerebral way he attacks the position is absolutely incredible. Another awesome conversation!! Thank you for allowing us to witness his greatness. Ryan, Chan, Fred, and everyone on the Pivot team are the absolute best at podcasting. You all have set the bar!!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾
