Houston Texans standout quarterback C.J. Stroud admitted that he was asleep when the team made a blockbuster trade to acquire star wide receiver Stefon Diggs from the Buffalo Bills.
"I was asleep," Stroud told reporters on Monday, adding that he received multiple text messages from his friends asking about how he was feeling although he wasn't aware of the trade at the time.
When he finally found out about the deal, the 2023 Offensive Rookie of the Year revealed that he was excited to be playing alongside Diggs.
"I was very excited," Stroud said.
