Texans owner denies pressuring team to draft C.J. Stroud, says he must earn QB1 spot.
Houston Texans owner Cal McNair denies that he and his wife, Hannah, influenced the team's decision to draft Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud with the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft last month. McNair praised the team's scouts and front office for their work on the draft board and said he is content with the progress the organization is making. The Texans had the worst QBR in the league last season and hope Stroud can help turn things around.
