After the Houston Texans selected CJ Stroud with the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft on Thursday, the incoming quarterback immediately praised and credited Jesus Christ for getting him to where he was.
“First and foremost, I got to always give my Lord and Savior all the credit, Jesus Christ,” Stroud told the NFL Network. “Man, without him, I wouldn’t be here. He’s the reason I’m here.”
From Breitbart:
When asked the standard question about what he personally brings to the Houston Texans organization, Stroud gave a very non-standard answer. “I bring me,” the quarterback said. “I bring a man of God. I bring a leader. I bring somebody who’s going to go to work every day and work their tail off.” In a follow-up interview with ESPN’s Suzy Kolber, Stroud again credited faith. “Yes ma’am, I mean, God has battle-tested me. It’s something that I feel like is in me, it’s not on me. He’s scarred me, so I’ve been battle-tested. I have the armor of God on me, so everything I’ve been through has prepared me for this moment right here.”
