Houston’s C.J. Stroud was excited to talk to Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford on Thursday. But the second-year signal caller tried to play it cool after the Texans and Rams practiced together in advance Saturday’s preseason game.

“I asked him a lot of questions,” Stroud said. “I tried to just learn, and he was really honest with me and wasn’t mean, which I appreciate so I am definitely a huge fan of his. Definitely one of my favorite quarterbacks of all time. I feel like sharing a field with him was dope.” For Stafford, it’s humbling to have young quarterbacks such as Stroud and Chicago’s Caleb Williams look up to him. He remembers admiring Brett Favre and Peyton Manning when he was just starting out in the league — and the thrill he got from meeting them.
“This position is hard,” he said. “It’s humbling. It’s difficult. There are ups, there are downs. Guys that play this position for a long time know you have to stick together and pull for each other so I’m pulling for those guys.”
