Fans Vote C.J. Stroud Rookie of the Year

Stroud finished with 4,108 yards of throwing, 23 touchdowns, and just five interceptions. In addition, he guided the Texans past the Cleveland Browns in the playoffs. By doing so, Stroud created NFL rookie playoff history.

The Texans have a promising future in store. Stroud and rookie head coach DeMeco Ryans seem to be just getting started, as Stroud is still in the first year of his rookie deal. The Jacksonville Jaguars and Indianapolis Colts, who finished just behind the Texans this season, present them with fierce competition from the remainder of the AFC South.
