BIG WORDS
Future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers made his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show and discussed how impressed he is with Texans' rookie CJ Stroud.
Rodgers shares his thoughts on Stroud's ability to avoid interceptions while also throwing the ball all over the yard – as he's third in passing yards in the NFL currently.
And let's be honest, nobody has been better at throwing touchdowns and limiting interceptions than Aaron. So he can speak to this better than anyone.
How is CJ doing it?
Stroud is seemingly playing with Rodgers' motto in mind, “ball security is job security.”
Rodgers also praised Stroud for his clutch touchdown drive in the fourth quarter against the Falcons that gave the Texans the lead. Unfortunately, the defense couldn't keep Atlanta out of field goal range and cost Houston the game.
Aaron goes on to say that many people probably didn't expect Stroud and the Texans to win a couple of games and have success so early. He likes what head coach DeMeco Ryans is doing with his young team.
