Though, before gushing too much about the NFL, the Texans, winning Super Bowls, or anything like that. Stroud immediately praised and credited Jesus Christ for getting him to this moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst and foremost, I got to always give my Lord and Savior all the credit, Jesus Christ,\u201d Stroud told the\u00a0NFL Network. \u201cMan, without him, I wouldn\u2019t be here.

Stroud Overcomes Adversity to Become First Overall Pick in 2023 NFL Draft<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cYes ma\u2019am, I mean, God has battle-tested me. It\u2019s something that I feel like is in me, it\u2019s not on me. He\u2019s scarred me, so I\u2019ve been battle-tested. I have the armor of God on me, so everything I\u2019ve been through has prepared me for this moment right here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>C.J. Stroud, the former Ohio State quarterback, spoke these words after being selected as the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. Stroud\u2019s journey to this moment was not an easy one, but his faith and perseverance helped him overcome the obstacles in his path.<\/p>\n<h3>Testing on and off the Field<\/h3>\n<p>Stroud was battle-tested on the college gridiron, but he faced even more scrutiny during the pre-draft process. He scored 18 percent on the NFL\u2019s cognitive test, far below every other elite QB projected to go in the first round. Some believed this low score would make teams hesitant to use a high pick on him.<\/p>\n<p>But those concerns proved to be unfounded. The Texans saw something special in Stroud and believed in his potential.<\/p>\n<h3>A Big Splash in the Draft<\/h3>\n<p>Stroud wasn\u2019t the only big splash made by the Texans in the draft. They also traded their 12th overall pick to Arizona to take Alabama\u2019s Will Anderson, the player many believe is pound-for-pound the best player in the draft.<\/p>\n<h3>The Importance of Faith<\/h3>\n<p>For those facing life struggles, Stroud unsurprisingly stressed the importance of faith. He believes that his faith in God helped him overcome the challenges he faced and prepared him for this moment.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stroud\u2019s faith helped him overcome adversity on and off the field<\/li>\n<li>Despite a low score on the NFL\u2019s cognitive test, the Texans believed in Stroud\u2019s potential<\/li>\n<li>The Texans also made a big splash in the draft by trading for Will Anderson<\/li>\n<li>Stroud stresses the importance of faith for those facing life struggles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Congratulations to C.J.
