If C.J. Stroud makes these throws on the regular, it'll be hard to slow him and the Houston Texans' offense down this fall.
During Saturday's open practice to the fans, Stroud evaded a pair of defenders to connect with tight end Dalton Schultz for a first-down gain. The no-look pass is what will bring people to social media, but credit to Schultz for making the one-handed grab and completing the play.
Here's a look at the snap below.
Stroud and Schultz are both looking to rebound after setbacks from their breakout 2023 campaigns. Stroud, who won NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year after throwing for 4,000 yards, only tossed 20 touchdown passes while also throwing a career-high 12 interceptions. Even though his on-field play wasn't perfect, he was still able to guide the Texans to a second division title and playoff victory in the wild-card round.
Schultz, who signed a three-year extension worth $36 million in the offseason, only managed to total two touchdown receptions off 53 catches for 523 yards. His role could expand now with the hiring of Los Angeles Rams tight ends coach and passing-game coordinator Nick Caley as the new offensive coordinator.
The Texans return to practice on Monday. They'll be in Houston through the week before leaving for The Greenbriar in West Virginia next week ahead of their preseason matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
