CJ Stroud ready to 'shock the world' as Texans camp draws near

HOUSTON - We're a little more than two weeks out from the start of training camp and one of the newest Houston Texans, quarterback C.J. Stroud, says Houston is ready to turn heads in 2023.

"I think it’s gonna be a great season for us to learn, to get better," Stroud said. "I think we’re gonna shock the world. That’s the plan -- at least for us," the rookie signal-caller said.

"Just really excited to be in the city of Houston. It’s hot, but I’m getting used to it," he added.
