C.J. Stroud’s NFL career is off to a hot start through four games.

Danny Kanell called him Stroud phenomenal Monday and dubbed the Ohio State product as the best rookie in the 2023 NFL Draft class so far.

“He has been phenomenal. He is the best rookie in this class so far through four games and he is the best rookie quarterback through four games in the history of the NFL. I did a little research after watching him play. Cam Newton is first, then it’s C.J., and then Andrew Luck. Here’s the difference. Newton through four games, four interceptions. Luck through four games five interceptions. You mentioned zero interceptions. It’s unbelievable. Stroud’s first two games he was getting sacked and beat a lot. It didn’t faze him or impact his decision making. He has been spectacular.”

To say Stroud has been spectacular is an understatement. After Sunday’s 30-6 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Stroud has 1,212 yard passing and 6 touchdowns. The Houston Texans are 2-2 and currently in second place in the AFC South.

The Texans may have struck gold on their top draft pick out of Columbus. Stroud travels to Atlanta to take on the Falcons next. It’ll be interesting to how long Stroud can keep this up.

Kickoff will be at 1 p.m. ET on FOX.
