Stroud was the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. He has a strong arm, lively legs and the sort of presence in the pocket for which teams yearn. But he's just a rookie. And if the past few years have taught us anything, it's that life can be especially hard for a fresh-faced QB.
Stroud will face quite the test in his regular-season NFL debut. Standing in the Texans' way are the Ravens, a team with Super Bowl aspirations. Lamar Jackson finally inked his much-deserved contract in the offseason. His next order of business: Lead his purple-clad teammates to football's promised land and the Lombardi Trophy.
