Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was one of the last people in his circle to find out that the team had acquired standout wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Stroud admitted to reporters that he was asleep when news of the trade broke as the Texans began their offseason workouts. He explained that he had been in Los Angeles and was asleep at the time of the trade. He woke up to a message from a friend, and after seeing similar messages from others, he realized that something big was happening. Eventually, he saw the news of Diggs joining the Texans on Instagram and was excited about the development.
Reflecting on meeting Diggs at the Pro Bowl and seeing what a great person he was, Stroud expressed his excitement about working with him as a teammate. Diggs, who had a stellar season with the Buffalo Bills, is expected to elevate an already productive Texans offense. With Stroud’s impressive numbers from his first NFL season and the addition of Diggs to the team, there is a lot of anticipation surrounding the potential impact on the field.
With established targets like Nico Collins and Tank Dell alongside Diggs, Stroud has a talented group of receivers to throw to. The Texans organization, as well as their fans, are eagerly looking forward to seeing how the team performs with the addition of Diggs and the potential improvements that could come with it.
