C.J. Stroud reveals Joe Burrow gave him advice over the summer

Over the summer, second overall pick and Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud brought up Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow multiple times in a notable way.

And fast forward to now, Stroud has elaborated on that relationship.

Appearing on Pat McAfee’s show, Stroud revealed that Burrow played something of a mentor role to him over the summer.

“Really the whole time I was hanging with Joe Burrow. He gave me a lot of great feedback, a lot of great advice. For him being a former Buckeye and going to LSU to being the first pick in the draft, he understands right where I’m at right now.”

It’s a fun note, if nothing else, especially because Stroud is currently enjoying a breakout rookie season for the Texans with six touchdowns and no interceptions. Burrow and Stroud will face off in Week 10 on November 12 in Cincinnati.
