HOUSTON (AP) — C.J. Stroud was still asleep in Los Angeles when the news broke that the Houston Texans were trading for star receiver Stefon Diggs. When the quarterback picked up his phone and saw several messages from friends asking how he was feeling, he thought they were just checking up on him. He was still half asleep when he responded to about five such texts with some version of: ‘I’m good fam, how are you?’” A few minutes later he got up, brushed his teeth, washed his face and checked social media. “Then I seen the news … and I’m like: ‘oh shoot, that’s what they’re talking about,’” Stroud said with a laugh Monday. Then, Stroud’s day, of course, went from good to great. “I was very excited,” he said beaming. Diggs was traded from Buffalo to Houston April 3, giving last year’s AP Offensive Rookie of the Year another playmaker to throw to and vaulting the Texans into the Super Bowl conversation. |
