Stroud, 22, previously held a youth football camp at Houston Christian High School during the Texans’ open week.
Stroud, who has quarterbacked the Texans to a 6-4 record since being drafted second overall out of Ohio State, intends to build a legacy of giving back in the community.
Stroud, in collaboration with his mom, plans to advocate for criminal justice reform, assisting single mothers and the children of incarcerated parents. His father is serving time in prison in Folsom State Prison and isn’t eligible for parole until 2038.
His mother, Kimberly, is a fixture at Texans games. She is also launching a podcast with Arizona Cardinals rookie offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr’s mother, Monica Daniels. Johnson was teammates with Stroud at Ohio State.
The name of the podcast: ‘Mom’s POV Show.’
