Houston Texans

The Houston Texans made C.J. Stroud their franchise quarterback with the 2nd overall pick in 2023 — navy and red, AFC South, and a team reborn around a rookie star. The natural home team for any Stroud collection.

City: Houston
League: NFL AFC South
Founded: 2002

The Houston Texans are inseparable from C.J. Stroud’s rise. After drafting him 2nd overall in 2023, the franchise built its future around a rookie quarterback who won Offensive Rookie of the Year and led Houston back to the playoffs in his first season — a reset for one of the NFL’s younger franchises, founded in 2002.

Because Stroud has only ever played for the Texans, every Stroud card is a Texans card. That makes this franchise the natural anchor for a Stroud collection — from his 2023 rookies through his breakout playoff run and beyond.
