The Houston Texans quarterback, C.J. Stroud, had an unexpected wake-up call when news broke of the acquisition of wide receiver Stefon Diggs from the Buffalo Bills. Stroud, who was in Orlando for Pro Bowl Games practice in February, expressed his excitement about the addition of Diggs to the team’s wide receiver room.
The reigning AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, Stroud, had the opportunity to meet Diggs at the Pro Bowl, which laid the foundation for their growing relationship. The news of Diggs joining the Texans came as a surprise to Stroud, who had been asleep when the trade was finalized.
Despite being caught off guard, Stroud is thrilled to work with Diggs and hopes to build on the Texans’ success in the 2023 season. With Diggs joining a wide receiver corps that already includes Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and John Metchie III, the Texans are poised to make a strong statement in the AFC South.
Stroud, who threw for over 4,000 yards and 23 touchdowns in his rookie season, is eager to see his teammates return to form and make an impact on the field. He highlighted the return of Tank Dell, who missed part of the previous season due to injury, and the potential of Metchie, who is fully recovered from a leukemia diagnosis.
With Diggs bringing his experience and wisdom to the team, Stroud is optimistic about the future of the Texans. He emphasized the camaraderie and talent in the team’s wide receiver room and is confident in their ability to work together towards success.
