How Texans rookies are igniting the Houston fan base in a big way
RIDING THE WAVE
28 June 2023
Houston Texans rookies CJ Stroud and Will Anderson are both igniting the Texans fan base already.
How are they doing it? Jake Asman caught up with some Texans fans that shared with him why they are so excited about the start of the season. Two of the biggest reasons these fans were pumped about the team were CJ Stroud and Will Anderson.
While the Texans caught some heat for what they traded to move up and draft Will Anderson, it looks like it was a great and necessary move to win the fans back after the infamous Jack Easterby era. At least according to these fans.
The team now has two cornerstones of the franchise, with one on offense and the other on defense.
Plus, the addition of DeMeco Ryans seems to be a great hire to get Houston fans ready to follow the team each and every Sunday.
Which hasn't been the case over the last couple of years. And fans will definitely be looking to see the guys in action at training camp.
Time to go camping 🏕️

In a move that sent shockwaves through the NBA, the Houston Rockets have pulled off a blockbuster trade for Kevin Durant, acquiring the superstar forward from the Phoenix Suns. The deal comes at a steep price—Houston parts ways with Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the 10th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and five second-rounders.
In this episode, we react to the stunning trade and break down what it means for the Rockets’ future. Is parting with Green and Brooks too much, or a necessary step toward contention? We examine the risks tied to Durant’s age and injury history, and what losing a defensive anchor like Brooks means for a young, evolving roster.
We also dive into what KD brings to the table—his scoring ability, his contract situation, and whether he can truly be "the guy" on a team that’s looking to take the next step. And if he can’t stay healthy come playoff time… was the gamble even worth it?
The Rockets just pushed all their chips in. The question now: did they bet on the right hand?
