Will Anderson on C.J. Stroud: We pick each other up
Three years ago, Texans quarterback C. J. Stroud and Texans defensive end Will Anderson entered the NFL as back-to-back top-three picks.
On Tuesday, Anderson met with reporters to discuss a contract extension that makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league, based on new-money average. He was asked if he heard from Stroud after agreeing to terms. “He had texted me," Anderson said.
"It was great. But coming in with C. J.
has been awesome. It can be kind of hard when you come in by yourself and you got to figure things out, figure people out. But coming in with C.
J. was great because we had each other our rookie year and we still got each other now. But to be able to come in with somebody who's also God-fearing as well but also loves his craft, loves to get better, and loves to see the guys around him succeed and also is a leader, too.
