CJ Stroud is spearheading the Houston Texans‘ advances in the ongoing season. The swashbuckling quarterback has taken his team to six victories in eleven games.

The QB is giving close competition to much-experienced QBs. This all happened because of Stroud’s training, which consisted of learning his game by watching YouTube videos.
