The busy offseason for Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud continues. After winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year award following what might have been the most-impressive rookie season of any quarterback in NFL history, Stroud has kept himself busy traveling around the world, training for next season and attending some exclusive events.
The latest headline for Stroud comes from an all-whites celebrity party, where he was spotted hanging out with Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, and a host of other famous folks.

Stroud won't find a better influence to hang out with in order to grow his game. Brady was never the most athletic QB in the league nor did he have the most arm talent. He became the most successful starter of all time because he was more focused and worked harder than everyone else.
Former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick probably deserves an asterisk for helping him deciper defenses, but he wasn't the guy on the field. It also says something that Brady went on to win another ring with a different team and Belichick is now out of a job. In any case, the more Stroud can learn from Brady, the better.
