TOM Brady has shared high praise for one of the NFL’s most talented young players.
Texans quarterback CJ Stroud has earned a lot of fans after an incredible rookie season, but none bigger than the GOAT.
Brady shared how impressed he was with Stroud, not just as an athlete, but as a teammate.
He shared that Stroud feels like “one of the guys” and will have a long career because of it.
“CJ is a good example. I really appreciate where he came from and all the expectations he had, and so what [he went] and we brought together last year with a lot of humility,” Brady said.
“When I watch quarterbacks, the first thing I see is, ‘Does he endear himself to his teammates?’
“He feels like one of the guys. If he wants to separate himself from the rest of the team, you won’t play 20 years.
“You’re just not, because the only way you can play is your teammates.”
NFL fans agreed with Brady’s assessment and said Stroud has a bright future ahead of him.
“CJ Stroud is a really easy guy to root for. It will be fun to watch him play for the next 10-15 years,” said one fan.
