Stroud to compete for QB position with Mills at Texans

C.J. Stroud is not worried that the Panthers picked No.1 pick  Bryce Young on Day 1 of training camp, while his team the Houston Texans are making him compete with Davis Mills.

“I’m happy for him, but his situation is his situation, and my situation is mine,” Stroud said on Sunday. “So, I know that I’ve got to work on my end and do whatever I’ve got to do to make this team better. It’s not about the starter (or) who’s not the starter, it’s about getting better for Week 1 against Baltimore.”

Houston drafted Stroud after Mills struggled as the team’s starter for the past two years after Deshaun Watson sat out following a trade request before being sent to Cleveland the year prior.
