00:00 Let's look at the AFP conference.
00:02 Do you have a pick for one unsung hero?
00:05 I'm going to cheat.
00:05 OK, let's hear you.
00:06 Because he's starting to be very, very sung.
00:09 But how do you not give props to CJ Stroud,
00:12 what he's done with Houston, Texas?
00:16 I mean, he's going to be rookie of the year.
00:18 There's whispers that he might be MVP, which is--
00:22 let's tap the brakes a little bit on that.
00:24 But he comes from that legacy of Ohio State quarterbacks,
00:26 which have all failed miserably in the NFL.
00:29 And you just thought he's another one of those guys.
00:31 Well, just his calm in the pocket,
00:33 his footwork in the pocket, his arm strength
00:35 is off the charts.
00:37 And the way he's led game-winning drives
00:40 in two games now in the last couple of minutes.
00:42 And just the way-- you just see him command the huddle.
00:44 Like, if you didn't know, but he'd be like,
00:46 that's like a seven-year veteran.
00:48 He's way exceeded expectations and why the Texans are probably
00:51 the surprise of the AFC, if not the whole NFL.
00:53 What I like about Stroud is he came in as a rookie
00:56 and isn't doing it the way other rookies did it,
00:58 like Lamar Jackson, where you're kind of scrambling around.
01:02 CJ looks like--
01:03 I mean, I'm not going to say Tom Brady,
01:04 but he looks like that type of quarterback.
01:07 Yeah.
01:07 And you're just like, wow, where did this come from?
01:09 I guess the Texans saw this.
01:10 He's got the athleticism.
01:12 We know that.
01:13 And he uses it sometimes.
01:14 But you're right.
01:15 He doesn't get the rookie deer in the headlights
01:17 and take off running.
01:18 Yeah, it's not like a lucky-- oh, he's gotten lucky.
01:20 Right.
01:20 He's got a pocket presence that belies his rookie year.
01:24 I mean, he's exceeded expectations big time.
01:27 Let's see if he can keep it up.
01:28 Not unsung, though, because we're singing it.
01:30 Yeah, we're singing it.
