C.J. Stroud may be the brightest young quarterback in the NFL following a first season that saw him win Offensive Rookie of the Year honors while leading the Houston Texans to a playoff victory over the Cleveland Browns in the Wildcard round, but he also incorporates a basketball into his pregame warmup.

He also played basketball for Rancho Cucamonga High School, where he put up 40 points in a win over Miami Heat rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr.

Or so he claimed on B/R's "The Edge with Micah Parsons" podcast.

Regardless, Stroud is a world-class athlete who has excelled at every level of competition. That should be no different against a field that includes competitors from the world of film, music, and sports.

Expect Stroud to show out and add another honor to what is becoming a jam-packed trophy case.

His fellow NFL-er, Parsons, is another candidate to secure the coveted award while streetballer Jack Ryan might be the most interesting potential MVP.

As for the final score, there has not been a point total less than 150 in any game since 2021. That trend should continue Friday night.
