A recent video on X captured CJ Stroud practicing alongside Stefon Diggs, as they tried to build some synergy before the season. Streamer Sketch hosted an Instagram Live session featuring the duo, along with others, including fellow receivers Tank Dell and John Metchie III. However, CJ outshone everyone with his performance as he showcased the skills of a wide receiver and cornerback on the field.
During practice, CJ Stroud channeled his inner cornerback as he dribbled past his opponents with the agility and accuracy of a seasoned receiver before attempting a catch. Additionally, his ability to receive forward passes near the goal line drew admiration, prompting the caption from an X user,
“Damn CJ needs some reps at wideout.”
The Texans’ acquisition of Diggs in a blockbuster trade has bolstered their offense with Offensive Rookie of the Year- CJ Stroud already on the roster. Hence, with a receiving side comprising Tank Dell, John Metchie III, and now Diggs, expectations are soaring in Houston.

These enthusiastic responses praise the Texans’ overhauled lineup to support QB CJ Stroud. Meanwhile, the contrasting fortunes of the Dallas Cowboys haven’t left the conversations, with criticism mounting against the franchise’s offseason approach. Despite boasting a talented roster featuring stars like Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Micah Parsons, the Cowboys have faced scrutiny for their dormancy in free agency.
While the Cowboys maintained a nucleus of top-tier players, roster holes have dampened hopes of a Super Bowl even in 2024. This has been a contentious point for most Cowboys fans, while their offseason woes added to the misery.
