ESPN NFL Analyst Louis Riddick DISHES why the Houston Texans future is BRIGHT!?
The Houston Texans have been a big topic of conversation across the NFL this offseason, based on the hiring of DeMeco Ryans and shocking the world on draft night by drafting both CJ Stroud and Will Anderson.
While opinions seem to be mixed on the Texans' decision to move so much draft capital in the draft night trade, one thing is for sure. ESPN's Louis Riddick loves him some CJ Stroud, and likes where this team is heading.
Riddick believes Stroud was the best QB in the draft, over Bryce Young. And he really likes Stroud's character and makeup after speaking with his coaches at Ohio State.
Make sure you watch the video above as Riddick lays out why he's such a fan of Stroud and the Texans offseason.
Plus, Riddick pulls back the curtain on his interview for the GM position with the Texans a few years back.
