In the eyes of FOX Sports analyst Henry McKenna, Stroud is among a small class of quarterbacks heading into a "contract collision course," considering if the Texans' signal caller continues to struggle next year, the numbers surrounding what he may truly be worth may get a bit tricky.

CJ Stroud is heading into his third NFL season, and the results so far speak volumes. Since arriving in Houston, the former No. 2 overall pick has injected life back into a franchise that had been desperately searching for stability at the quarterback position.

The Houston Texans proved to be a tough and resilient team last NFL season, but the bar is set even higher now. Their goal moving forward is clear: reach the Super Bowl. CJ Stroud will have several new weapons on offense, all aiming to help the quarterback achieve that mission.
