Watt: Stroud Ready for Super Bowl Run
29 Aug
Summary
- J.J. Watt believes C.J. Stroud has improved significantly this offseason.
- Watt expects the Texans to have Super Bowl expectations this season.
- Watt discussed his own equilibrium issues after retiring from football.
NFL legend J.J. Watt shared his optimistic outlook for the Houston Texans and quarterback C.J. Stroud following a recent visit to the team's training camp. Watt acknowledged Stroud's postseason struggles, including turnovers, but emphasized the quarterback's dedicated offseason work to address these issues. "He knows exactly how it went down, and he wants to come out and prove and be better, and I think that's great," Watt commented.
Watt's faith extends to the entire team, stating the Texans' defense is formidable and humming under coaches Matt Burke and DeMeco Ryans. He asserted that the team possesses the potential to contend for a Super Bowl this season, a sentiment that should have also been present last year. Watt also touched upon lighter topics, recounting his own experiences with diminished equilibrium since retiring from football.
Despite the season-ending loss of Jayden Higgins, Watt highlighted the acquisition of Kayshon Boutte as a boost for Stroud and sees it as an opportunity for other players to step up. The former Texans star's endorsement suggests high expectations for Houston in the upcoming NFL season.
