C.J. Stroud, the NFL’s reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year, has quickly established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the league during his first season with the Houston Texans. He led the team to an AFC South division title and a playoff victory in the Wild Card Round against the Cleveland Browns.

While Manning may not have the same overall success as Rodgers, he did defeat Tom Brady and the New England Patriots twice in Super Bowls, earning accolades like the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.Stroud’s focus is on leading the Texans to success, with the addition of receiver Stefon Diggs and a talented receiving corps. As he aims for Super Bowl rings and individual accolades like MVPs and All-Pro selections, the future looks bright for Stroud in the NFL.
