Houston Texans C.J. Stroud throws first pitch before Astros game against the Braves

The Houston Texans have a legit superstar regarding a guy who can ball on the field and build his brand off it. That is exactly what C.J. Stroud is doing.

After having possibly one of the greatest rookie seasons from a quarterback ever, he took his talents to the basketball court, where he ended up playing in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, having the best game on his team. They lost, so it didn't really matter, but he still balled out.

He also played in the Travis Scott softball game and was MVP. Now, he is back on the diamond. However, he isn't really playing. But he is showing out.

Stroud threw the first pitch of Monday night's game between the Houston Astros and the Atlanta Braves. It was a pretty good pitch, too.

It's been a while since the Texans have had a guy who gets it done off the field like Stroud does. The last guy I can think of is J.J. Watt. They have a guy who has the ability to take over the NFL on and off the field.
