HOUSTON-- Houston Texans' novice quarterback C. J. Stroud took first-team reps throughout Wednesday's OTAs practice. Stroud's passes were on-point, as well as his ball positioning was spot-on when getting in touch with his targets at the Houston Methodist Training Center. And during 7-on-7 as well as 11-on-11 group drills, Stroud finished four to 5 pass attempts to third-year broad receiver, Nico Collins. Stroud's associates with the presumed starters were the most considerable highlights during Week 2 of OTAs. And also according to coach DeMeco Ryans, having fun with the very first group suggested Stroud's early development. " Every day he continues to proceed well," Ryans claimed. "He continues to get comfy with the terminology of the crime and also command of the huddle. He is advancing in the right direction, and the skies is the limitation for him. " Stroud spent the very first week of OTA techniques playing behind Davis Mills. At the time, Ryans did not have an idea when the 21-year-old quarterback would certainly take first-team snaps. But Ryans became available to the idea following the Texans' return from the Memorial Day weekend break on Tuesday Custom Jersey. He said it was eye-opening to see how "on it" Stroud had been. Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik said Stroud is placing in the job while describing his job values as "remarkable. "" We did a two-minute drive at completion of technique at some point recently, as well as he [Stroud] threw right into sort of a protection we hadn't revealed," protective organizer Matt Burke claimed. "It was the initial day we put the coverage in.  .
