Among the rookie star who accomplished a good feat in College football and put turned their luck into their favor and made a spot in the national league, CJ Stroud is one of them and went to another level of accomplishment before stepping into the regular seasons game, winning the heart of Texans wide receiver Noah Brown.
Noah Brown is extremely positive about the rookie quarterback and has nothing but praise for him while comparing him with one of the league’s best quarterbacks Dak Prescott.
Noah Brown draws comparisons between Stroud, Prescott
The 21-year-old, who is vying for the starting quarterback job in Houston’s offense, has impressed his team’s players and coaches by possessing a powerful arm and being able to make all of his throws with remarkable accuracy.
The team’s wide receiver Brown, who has closely monitored the player’s performance a few times, is already completely smitten with the rookie and is hoping for a better future for the rising star.
“I know C.J. has great arm talent,” Brown said. “The little bit of time I’ve been here working with him, he’s picked up the offense fast, taken ownership of his reps. I think that can only lead to positive things.”
In just seven seasons with the Cowboys, Prescott has already made a name for himself, having twice led the team to the playoffs, thrown for 24,943 yards and 166 touchdowns, and been chosen to play in two Pro Bowls. However, Brown allowed a comparison to be made between Dak and the rookie on his team.
“They’re both great quarterbacks — great arm talent. That’s a great class to be in,” he said.
Could C.J. Stroud surpass Dak Prescott?
Prescott has the most games with 400+ yards passing since 2020 among all active NFL quarterbacks since his 2016 NFL debut. Before entering the NFL, the quarterback for Mississippi State held the record for most completions (734), passing yards (9,376), and touchdowns (70).
In contrast, the quarterback for Ohio State is one of just two quarterbacks—along with Barrett—to surpass 8,000 career passing yards and recorded 8,123 in 830 career pass attempts, and he is the only quarterback in state history to throw for more than 500 yards in a single game.
The NFL world saw how the quarterback of Mississippi State succeeded in the League’s game after an incredible collegiate career, so expecting the quarterback of Ohio State to have the same success is not just a pipe dream. The young quarterback has already displayed a great deal of desire to elevate himself to a level that only the best quarterback in the league could reach.
Through his high school and collegiate football careers, CJS made such an impression and established himself as a promising player that Noah made the claim that the rookie player will soon overtake Prescott without giving it a second thought. The former Cowboys’ wide receiver also witnessed the Cowboys’ star quarterbacks’ play from a close look, perhaps he saw some more hunger for success in CJS eyes than Dak.
“I think he has all the potential to live up to that, maybe even surpass it. So, you know, I’m rooting for C.J. and I’m willing to have his back on anything.”
Although the future cannot be predicted with certainty, if the Texans’ rookie quarterback can maintain this level of tenacity and diligence, his team’s wide receiver’s words may one day prove to be successful.
