Texans' Rookie QB C.J. Stroud Emerges as Strong MVP Contender

Stroud's Impressive Performance and Ability to Overcome Adversity Put Him in MVP Conversation

Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud is making a strong case for the NFL MVP award, leading the league in passing yards per game, touchdown-interception ratio, and completions of 20-plus yards.
Stroud's performance has helped the Texans shatter preseason expectations, currently holding an AFC playoff spot.
Despite being a rookie, Stroud has shown impressive ability in pressure-filled moments, with a league-leading passer rating when trailing with two minutes left in the game.
Stroud's success has been attributed to his strong relationship with God, his summer meeting with Tom Brady, and his ability to overcome adversity.
However, Stroud's MVP contention could be hindered by the Texans' current record and standing in the AFC playoff picture.
