Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud Talks Impact of Snoop Dogg's Youth Football League
C.J. Stroud has become one of the top quarterbacks in the league after just one season. The Houston Texans trusted in Stroud's on-field ability plenty after showing two highly successful seasons at Ohio State University, but it is the intangibles that Stroud possesses that likely solidified the eventual drafting of him second overall in the 2023 NFL draft.
The intangibles of an NFL starting QB are almost more important than the physical capabilities that he can use at his disposal. Connecting with teammates, coming together as a team, leadership, understanding, character, and the drive to win all come into play, and without it, it becomes difficult for a QB to achieve the successes that they seek.
For C.J. Stroud those characteristic traits that he lives by daily were instilled at a young age starting with his involvement with the Snoop Dogg Youth Football League at the age of 12."I was so competitive and wanted to win so I was like 'I have to find a way to be a leader and relate to these guys.' That was my first step," Stroud told ESPN. "I started hanging out with guys off the field, my mom would have kids come over and spend the night.
Stroud was exactly what the youth league was envisioning when they began to invite young football athletes to participate and we now know that the league represents much more than being able to showcase players' abilities. The generational rapper Snoop Dogg even went on record in the past to discuss Stroud's involvement.
Being able to reach different types of people and relay the mindset of the ultimate goal is far-reaching and not an easily attainable task. Incorporating new players year to year and maintaining the level of confidence, preparation, performance, and level-headedness never comes easy, but for Stroud, he is exemplifying his abilities in this area by bringing everyone together on and off the field to hopefully reach a Super Bowl and bring the Texans their first ever Lombardi Trophy.
