The son of a felon and a rookie quarterback for the Houston Texans, CJ Stroud has been making waves in the NFL not just for his amazing story but because he has been incredibly humble when asked about his success, giving the glory to God rather than focusing on himself. Such could be seen when Stroud helped lead his team to victory over the Indianapolis Colts and secure a spot in the NFL playoffs.

After that 23-19 victory, Stroud spoke about the game and the opportunity to enter the playoffs in his rookie year. Rather than focusing on his own on-field prowess, Stroud spoke about God and thanked Christ for the team’s hard work being rewarded with victory.

He said, when asked how the opportunity sounds, “That it’s a blessing. I can’t do now but just thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ man. I’m sorry I put a lot of work in my team that has everybody counted us out from it from the start so, man, it’s just special to see the city of Houston just want to come up again and I’m just blessed enough to be the vessel that Christ picked to lead this great franchise so I can do damage just thank the Lord.”
