Nico Collins: CJ Stroud is built for everything
Texans quarterback CJ Stroud is entering a critical fourth season, particularly after his four-interception performance in the divisional round that helped end the club's 2025 postseason.
Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud enters a crucial fourth season following a challenging playoff performance last year. Houston General Manager Nick Caserio recently indicated that a contract extension between the team and Stroud must be reached before the upcoming season, or it will be addressed during the offseason. This extension would provide the team with more time to assess Stroud's development, while also allowing him to potentially negotiate a larger salary with a strong 2026 performance.
Receiver Nico Collins, one of Stroud's top targets, recently praised the quarterback's readiness for the season ahead. In his words, "He's built for everything," and Collins expressed his unwavering belief and support for Stroud. Collins stated, "We believe in him, we love him. This is the best position he can be in right now. I feel like he is about to go out and show the whole world what he's made of, and I can't wait. We got his back 100 percent, all the way."
Cased on his 2023 rookie season, Stroud threw for 3,041 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions, completing 64.5% of his passes in regular-season games. In the postseason, he had a 51.9% completion rate, throwing for 462 yards, scoring two touchdowns, and committing five interceptions.
