Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud solves a big problem the franchise had under center for the past couple seasons.

Aaron Wilson from KPRC-TV shot video of Stroud throwing passes as part of his warmups during rookie minicamp Saturday at Houston Methodist Training Center.

The Texans are well aware of Stroud’s abilities with the football. What the focus has been at minicamp is getting the former Ohio State signal caller to learn the offense.

“Learning the offense, it’s like learning a new language, so then you have to learn how to speak that language and speak it fluently, especially for C.J. stepping in the huddle and making the play calls,” coach DeMeco Ryans said May 12. “How much and how quickly can they grasp the terminology and be able to communicate that effectively on the field?”                                                                                                                                        The Texans picked Stroud No. 2 overall in Round 1 of the 2023 NFL draft.
