C.J. Stroud Dominates Jaguars Performance, Sends Loud Message

Texans tight end Trevin Jordan believes that beating the Indianapolis Colts last season was the best thing to happen to the Texans organization because it allowed them to draft quarterback C.J. Stroud, who he thinks is "unbelievable."

In a thrilling NFL matchup on September 24, 2023, at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida, Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud showcased his talent by leading his team to a resounding victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars with a final score of 37-17. The Texans' decision to select Stroud as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft was a testament to their belief in his exceptional abilities.

However, it is worth noting that the Carolina Panthers had the first overall selection in the draft and chose former Alabama quarterback Bryce Young. Had the Texans been in that position, they might have made the same choice. Nevertheless, fate intervened when the Texans clinched a crucial win against the Indianapolis Colts in the last game of the 2023 season, dashing the hopes of securing the No. 1 pick.

Despite the disappointment of their fans at the time, Texans tight end Trevin Jordan believes that this victory was a blessing in disguise for the organization. He credits this win as the reason they were able to draft Stroud, whom he considers an extraordinary talent.

Expressing his admiration for the young quarterback, Jordan stated, "That quarterback is unbelievable, man." He further emphasized the significance of the win against the Colts, stating, "I was just telling somebody on the sidelines the best thing to happen to the Houston Texans organization was us beating the Indianapolis Colts last year in the last game of last season. So, (No.) 7 is the guy, man. We rock behind him at all times."

Jordan's optimism and enthusiasm were palpable after the game, especially since he caught his first touchdown pass since 2021. Reflecting on this achievement, he expressed his gratitude for the process, his family, and his faith, stating, "Eh, it's been forever, man. I just trusted the process, man. I kept my head down. I trusted my family, trusted Christ. It felt good to get in the end zone, it really did."

Overall, the Houston Texans' decision to draft C.J. Stroud has proven to be a wise one, as he continues to impress with his exceptional skills on the field. With the support and confidence of his teammates, Stroud has the potential to lead the Texans to further victories, bringing hope and excitement to the organization and its fans.
