From commanding the field with the levels of Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes to sitting at dinners with Meek Mill, Kim Kardashian, Michael Rubin…CJ Stroud has had one helluva Rookie year and is just getting started.
Heading into Super Bowl week, the talk and hype is always around quarterbacks, with this year being no different as Brock Purdy and Patrick Mahomes headline Super Bowl 58…usually for QBs it’s experience that lands you in the post season but for CJ Stroud, the front runner for NFL Rookie of the year, seems to have defied the odds and made a name for himself as one of the elite QBs in the league and led the Texans to post season success.
There is nothing basic about being a quarterback in the NFL and CJ is giving credit where credit is due and talks why Brock Purdy has earned where he is but why he is still taking Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in this Sunday’s big game. but more than anything, he is reflecting back on a historical first year in the NFL and it’s not lost on him where he comes from and how it all started.
CJ who was drafted to the Houston Texans 2nd overall last year, perception pointed to this scenario as being the worst to go to for any of the rookie quarterbacks but CJ proved that theory wrong and let his on-field play and leadership, take the Texans to the playoffs. The Pivot crew sat with CJ at the 2023 NFL Draft and instantly knew this young man was different. Fast forward 10 months and CJ is now sitting with Ryan, Fred and Channing, as part of the league’s top players and eager to keep getting better and growing.
Stroud forged his own path this season, and with staple wins against Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Tampa Bay, there seemed to be a unanimous call for him to be the Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Many athletes talk about blocking out the noise, but CJ has learned to embrace the good with the bad and using the chatter as fuel for his game. With strong faith and an extra-motivated Houston Texans team, CJ earned the trust and respect of his teammates by coming through in big moments.
The personal growth has matched his success in the league as being a strong voice in culture, Whether he’s speaking out on prison reform or being a role model for young people who look like him and come from where he does, CJ approaches everything in life with passion and positivity after being in the darkest times as a young person.

No matter what your team is you can't help but root for this guy. Wish him the absolute best.
Aye when CJ said “Where did you go” that dawg CAME OUT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kid has a major edge to him lmao. Always locked and loaded. I think it caught Fred off guard.
LMAOO the way he reacted had me dead
@@coryg4665Fred could’ve cried his dumb ass but he held back
Soon as he asked that question I already knew where he was going with it 🤣🤣🤣
@@Kingcometrimfor real.. shit Fred won lol. Definitely could’ve fried his ass
CJ made being a Texans fan fun again 🫡
Did Massage Watson make you stop being a fan?
@@CG1224_You must have a poster of this man, with how you keep bringing him up
@@cruzrenteria9134 just want to know how yall feel about him stalker 👀
@@CG1224_ bill O’Brien made me not like the Texans anymore CJ got me back
Cj brought a happy ending to Houston huh?
This dude is a straight out baller on the field and has a great future ahead of him but…. It doesn’t hold candle to the man he has become. Just watching him during this interview shows how intelligent and mature he is. His understanding of what it takes to successfull in life. This world needs many many many more CJ Strouds in it!! This dude is TOP NOTCH!
This whole podcast just shows you how shallow and draft bias is towards Brock Purdy, all because he was drafted last. Purdy has never gotten this much respect where as CJ is just because he looks a prototype qb and a top draft pick..... SAD
@@Thebluesky0311What Purdy a solid QB no doubt but he ain’t know Stroud that’s fax.
@@Thebluesky0311stroud just put on maybe the best rookie season of all time what the fuck are you on about
@Thebluesky0311 So you're here to push the Mr.Irrelevant Brock Purdy agenda at CJ Stroud's expense, understood
@@Thebluesky0311 What kind of shit are you on? CJ was not only the prototype QB and Top Draft pick but he also just played the part and probably had the best rookie season in NFL History.
CJ funny asf! 32:56 talkin bout LT with C “You Ight bruh” 😂
One thing that stands-out right away is how intelligent this kid is! Wow! I pray for his continued success!
u expected him to sound like an idiot, why is that?

Listen.....as Houston Texan fan.....we got us ONE!!! The city better get ready!!! Lead us young man!!!
“He big & cute” Channing 😂 “You Aite?” - CJ lmao
I love that CJ mentions a little girl looking up to him. I have a 7 year old daughter that loves football. She’s a longtime Chiefs fan, but her first flag football team was the Texans. She watched CJ’s Texans games all season and looks up to him now. Especially since he’s an IE kid. Thanks for acknowledging the little girls that look up to you too CJ! ❤
What is he a Rancho Cucamonga kid?
@@meatballsportstalk6297He is.
@@meatballsportstalk6297played High School ball there
I could listen to CJ talk all day. Such a real dude
This guy is special, seeing him play and how he conducts himself. I know god has special plans for CJ. Excited for you this young man.
45:32 CJ reaction had me crying laughing like Chan did 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how they diss Fred knowing damn well he would have given Chan and Ryan crazy work😂😂😂
CRAZY WORK *Lesean McCoy Voice*
Praying for his continued success....CJ is 100% special.
This whole podcast just shows you how shallow and draft bias is towards Brock Purdy, all because he was drafted last. Purdy has never gotten this much respect where as CJ is just because he looks a prototype qb and a top draft pick..... SAD
Texans fan here. Much blessings to the pivot and this QB. I’m going to enjoy this EP
Do you miss massage Watson?
@@CG1224_ used too but thank god we got cj were blessed
@@CG1224_ that’s in the past. nun to bring up, this CJ time
@@viking0828 cj a baller. And a leader
Coming from a black person I wish they didn't bring race up, Like we watch football to get away from that stuff. So much pandering
Even as a Jaguar, I’m a fan of this guy. The way he carries himself as an athlete, man, and most importantly a CHRISTIAN is special.
So if he was Muslim would he not be special?
Yea im a big colts fan and its hard not to root for this guy seems like a good dude.
I just love CJ Stroud!! What an awesome young man!! I pray he stay humble like he is!!❤❤❤
He loves you too
CJ-7 just keep God first! You are HIM! Htown proud!❤💙🤍 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🚀🚀🚀
Amen
Absolutely Stroud Proud !!! 💕 awesome young man and definitely set aside to do great things 🙏🏽🙌🏾
WOW!! This young man has it all!! He should never be counted out. I have a young son and if he ever expresses interest in being a quarterback, C.J. will definitely be one that I will have him study. C.J.’s attention to detail and the cerebral way he attacks the position is absolutely incredible. Another awesome conversation!! Thank you for allowing us to witness his greatness. Ryan, Chan, Fred, and everyone on the Pivot team are the absolute best at podcasting. You all have set the bar!!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾

Man I love this kid, I’m a Broncos fan but this kid is special. Confident when he has to be, grateful, humble, and respectful in a time when most people with his skills are haughty and big headed. I listened to some of Unc’s interview with Cam Newton and I had to turn it off. It’s a big contrast to this interview. I wish Stroud the best, I hope he wins at least one SB.
Not even two minutes in and CJ has me laughing. "I don't even wanna know." "That's some things you should keep to yourself." "It's all good, I ain't trippin'."
It was CJs appearance on this show prior to the Draft that made me really hope the Texans could draft him. God is good.
Chiefs fan here..love CJ he will do big things in this league
We trying to get to where you at bruh lol
@@jakefromtexas7025 would not be shocked if yall win a super bowl in the next 5 years
@@jakefromtexas7025he’s gon get y’all there i’m a chiefs fan as well and i gotta say y’all have a great qb1
CJ Stroud is an AWESOME God fearing and loving man. Great job on your rookie year
OSU alum. Very proud of this young man. On the field & off. 💯
I LOLed. CJ: "what college did you go to?" Masterful comeback, CJ. I didn't expect that, but that was hilarious. CJ a DAWG. Take that, FT, for dissing OSU 😂
you mean a national championship winning FT?
Ole CJ cant say that lmfao
OSU is trash..lol..We own them in both basketball and football. Go Gators
@henrysimmons6767 Yall haven't been relevant in 15 years. Stop it. 😂
@chrisalford6422 CJ did his part. Defense blew 17 pt lead and best receiver got knocked outta the game, then he still gave them chance to win and kicker shanked the kick.. Hold that against CJ but nobody else is. CJ also had to earn right to even play in the game while Florida got voted in the game based on Alliance Bowl rules. Florida hasn't been relevant since Tebow.
Very proud Houston Texans fan here and C.J. Stroud is our guy! Houston needed C.J., Dameco and this entire team! He is blessed and watching him grow is amazing!
the first 2x guest? love cj so much such a great kid whos so self aware & hes a buckeye for life 👏🏾
No Micah Parsons, Micheal Irvin and somebody else I believe
CJ got that Dawg in him. ❤ This kid
Smart dude. Articulates himself so well. Generational talent for sure.
This whole podcast just shows you how shallow and draft bias is towards Brock Purdy, all because he was drafted last. Purdy has never gotten this much respect where as CJ is just because he looks a prototype qb and a top draft pick..... SAD
@@Thebluesky0311Its hard to take people like you seriously. Brock Purdy has so much talent around him he will never get the credit until he proves himself. CJ led the Texans to the postseason and got a win in his rookie season...Let me say that again, the Texans. Purdy deserves praise for being way better than last pick in draft but give me a break trying to tear down CJ being talked about and comparing the two. CJ had one of the best rookie seasons ever and doesn't have that kind of talent around him. Hell people tried to say it was all Tank then he got hurt and CJ kept playing well 😅
The son of a "G" not only takes the straight & narrow to the NFL, but makes history! And was mentored-tutored by an "OG" during his travels ✊
I love this dude so much man. Im so happy he's here in houston. He will bring us a super bowl one day, i just know it.
Cj has won my heart this season excited to see how his future is going to play out when he keeps god first🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
CJ will ALWAYS be one of my favorite Buckeyes ever!! As a Buckeye fan, I wish he the absolute best in his career. Great dude!
I love this young King's conviction. I wish him all the best with his team the Texans.
A young, level headed CLASS ACT and TRUE role model ♥ Sky is the limit for this young stud
This is a intelligent young man I pray that he has continued success in his life and many many blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
CJ is a very mature and humble young man, so proud of him and wish him the best and much success. ❤
I watched CJ when he was on the Pivot the 1st time. Watching him now makes me so proud of him. I'm smiling like he's my son 😊. He's a great QB but an even greater young man in general.
Buckeye Nation is Proud! To be continued next year, CJ STROUD! ♥️🙏💙
Buckeye nation was giving him death threats when he lost to Michigan ,and called him a loser when he lost to Georgia. Buckeye nation is trash!
“I have the armor of God on me.” Bro I can’t wait to see you lace up next year CJ.
i’m trying to find the timestamp. do u have it?
@@jawdropshop 38:44
Still rocking with The Pivot! Prayers to you & the fam, CJ! 🫡
Young boy showed his teeth to Fred on that Ohio State question, no doubt the fire is there! Helluva interview fellas
Had Fred absolutely shook 😂
I am a huge Ohio State fan. Knew the kid could play but it’s deeper than that. Great Great interview!
I wish ohio state could of had him for 5 yrs lol miss him already
This young man is a breathe of fresh air period
Rookie of the year,no question!CJ had one of the greatest(if not the greatest)rookie season ever. Anthony Richardson and him,are my favourite players of the last draft. I wish them to have great career's,to win championship's,award's and the most important to stay humble and out of injuries.
Love how he gave Brock his props 💯
WHEN DOES HE TALK ABOUT BROCK

"Where did you go?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
CJ is going to be a BEAST in the league! He got it for SURE!!
CJ was appalled when he found out Fred was a Gator 😂😂😂😂
Yeah but Fred's Gators actually DID win a national championship lol
This young man is a star
Excited to see CJ7 elevate in Houston as a Texan! This young man has exceptional faith, confidence and great upside Go Texans!!
And can we just appreciate how Ryan and Fred are graying🥰 Looking good fellas!
I LOVE the Pivot!!! I’ve seen every episode and enjoyed them all especially this one with CJ. He’s an awesome young man representing himself, family and Christ! He’s a Star!!! As a 67 year old Black woman, I assure you there are MANY women who Love Football at every level and who love the Pivot! I have two sons; both played in the Pal League in Detroit, and one played in high school and received a Football scholarship to play college football. I have a Grandson who was a standout Quarterback in high school playing at Churchill high school. He’s now the starting quarterback at Adrian College on a football scholarship and will be at the Super-bowl with his Sports Management Class representing the school. Much continued success with the Pivot and all your other endeavors. You all represent the culture phenomenally. Blessings! PS: Show suggestion; wives of NFL players, sharing their experiences and perspectives of being “Married to Football”! ❤
Love CJ....amazing QB...so smart and confident....he knows he is blessed....🙏🙏🙏
Man CJ is a class act. Such good and mature dude for real. But Go Dawgs.
CJ Stroud is special! Great quarterback and a great young man!! Fred always give people their flowers and he is great at it! Excellent once again guys!! RC…that hoodie!!💛🏈🖤
Youre special as well.
That's my QB, 🤘🤘 I hope everyone can see how real and grounded this man is. Houston is blessed to have a man/QB like CJ and we are just getting started. Awesome interview and thanks to the pivot.
THAT’S MY QUARTERBACK!!!! 🔥
If there's flowers to give, trust Freddy T will be there. I so loved the end bit. Many success to CJ Stroud and his family & team; and also the Pivot Podcast. God bless you all!
As a Michigan i’ve always admired CJ as a person and his game! well done CJ
As a panthers fan i love this guy. I hope he and bryce both bring rings to their teams
That’s my QUARTERBACK 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
This dude is a dawg and I love it! 😂 His attitude, his competitiveness, his demeanor, his love for his family and pretty much everyone he comes into contact with, his love for Christ, you can keep going. Just an outstanding young man thats driven to be the best at what he does. I cant put my finger on it but this dude is just something else, like more than football as well. As a Texans fan its just awesome that this dude is the one leading our organization
Thanks for having this young man back!🔥🔥🔥
THANK YOU, Thank for being a GODLY witness to those who don’t have the light of Jesus! Shine brother! Shine! Continue to give God the glory.
CJ is special. We in Houston love him. We can't wait for next season 2024/25. Bright young man!
Great interview! I love how humble the young man is. I love how he puts God first. That's the key. Many blessings young man. 🙏🏼
9er fan but I hope he can take DeMeco Ryan to the Bowl and have him become the next Black head coach to win the Super Bowl. I like his Brock Purdy comments too. I usually appreciate Ryan Clark’s insight, but I can also tell if Purdy had more melanin RC would be singing a different tune about him - he would’ve had Purdy lined up for the first Pivot show after the SuperBowl. Real talk, I see similar characteristics with Stroud and Purdy. I know their backgrounds are different and Purdy grew up with a privilege that Stroud didn’t, but the family values, respect in God and their humble confidence definitely line up.
Congratulations, C.J., to be in the same class as Joe Montana and Tom Brady! You have their class, too! God Bless!
And Brady mentors him too
CJ Stroud is a Testament to the Kingdom and the NFL. This was a great one; captivated from beginning to end!!!
Watching CJ torch my buccs was devastating but I’m just in awe of this young man and love watching him play and listening to him. Keep rocking CJ 💪🏼
CJ showing Brock some love, def respect that from him. The Texans found themselves a good one and now they just need to put more talent around the kid and the Texans going to be a very dangerous team.
Double twist together is crazy
Can we get a Justin Fields interview
That’d be fire.
Aye CJ a real nigga tho...He will be one of the best to EVER PLAY you can hear it in his delivery.
💯!!
Love cj bro, so humble and a man of god, I’m glad he’s on my team
Youre humble as well
Great interview!! Looking forward to following his career. Outstanding young man..
CJ is a great Quaterback, im excited to see him in year 2 !!
You don’t find too many young players with a lot of character, especially in interviews, but CJ is definitely entertaining lol
Yall dudes keep giving the gems and putting that bar real high!!! Thank you!!!
The personification of humble confidence.
Love it.Another Dope interview pivot. Loving this young man. All the Best for him
Big congrats to CJ for a hell of a year. He's built to stay solid through the ups and downs and won't waiver when the inevitable downs come. He's got the make up to never waiver.
Take a shot everytime Cj say "like" But nah I like dude and I'm glad we got him as a Texan fan
And THIS is why I wanted him in Carolina. God speed and good luck with your career young Brother
God bless this man.!!!
