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.

According to multiple reports, the Houston Texans are signing offensive tackle Cam Robinson to a 1-year contract.
Free-agent OT Cam Robinson is signing with the Houston Texans, per source.

KPRC2's Aaron Wilson is reporting that the 1-year deal has a max value of $14.5 million.
With Laremy Tunsil now a member of the Commanders, clearly the Texans wanted to add some more talent at the tackle position.
Rookie right tackle Blake Fisher showed some promise last season, but he also had his share of struggles, as one would expect from a first-year player.
This move provides the Texans with flexibility if they choose to play Tytus Howard at guard again, while also giving GM Nick Caserio additional options in the draft.
Many believed the Texans would be locked in on drafting an offensive lineman with their first pick, which they may still do. But now, they can focus on taking the best player available, which could very well be a receiver at No. 25 overall.
Plus, this addition will make the Texans less predictable on draft day when rival teams are trying to predict who Caserio will draft based on Houston's needs.
Robinson started all 17 games last season, splitting time between the Jaguars and the Vikings. The Vikings traded for Robinson after their starting tackle Christian Darrisaw was lost for the season to injury. With Robinson in the last year of his deal and the Jags' season setting up to be another failure, Jacksonville decided to trade their left tackle away. Robinson (age 29) was drafted by the Jaguars in the 2nd round out of Alabama in 2017.
Make no mistake about it, this is a solid pickup by the Texans!
