At Alabama in his two years starting, Tua had the best receiver group in NCAA history: Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs, Jaylen Waddle and DeVonta Smith. Their passing game at the time was predicated on short/mid range passes turning into long TDs because those four guys were faster and quicker than any defender on the field, esp. Ruggs. Gotta admit that Tua has performed better than I expected in the NFL. He has very nice mid-range touch and and has two great receivers on his team. But I don't think he can do any better than last year.
I'm a life-long Ohio State fanatic that has NEVER had an NFL team to follow - until CJ Stroud. I PRAYED that Carolina would pick Bryce and that Houston would pick CJ. Needless to say, draft night 23' was amazing!
So, do the Texans still have to draft Bryce Young? I am asking for a few "friends" on this message board...
A fellow buckeye!! Isn’t this just the best ever?! We got an Ohio state great, breaking the trend of failing Ohio state QBs in the nfl.. in amazing fashion… for your home team!! It’s just fun.
What made you decide you wanted CJ to be in Houston rather than Carolina on draft night or even pre draft?
I watched every Texans preseason game and every game since. I'm thrilled to finally have an NFL team!
Demeco Ryans and the roster. While I didn't have an NFL team, I was familiar with the league. I felt that Houston or Indianapolis would have been great landing spots for CJ but I preferred Houston due to Demeco.
