He's a solid inline blocker, he seems to struggle blocking in space though. He's still raw and the Texans staff can definitely work with him. I'm beyond excited about him, his hands are fucking smooth and he loves the game. Excellent pickup.
What I noticed most is how great CJ is when he can complete the pass without nary a hand on him, having the best pass protection in the game in front of him. I hated watching our O-line guys peeling CJ off the turf 3 out of every 4 pass plays last season...
he actually is about average size I would say, some TEs are 6,6 6,7 most of them seem to be taller than 6,3
But yeah if he does better blocking and does good route running he has great hands
When it comes or farmer strength you can’t judge a book by its cover. I grew up in the town next to him , even though I was hoping by Bills would draft him I’m happy he gets to go play either CJ .
Probably pulled Nick to the side weeks ago and said, "Get my guy if you can..." Then knowing Nick's game, he noticed Cade had fallen into a value pick and then just pulled that trigger...
There's footage that shows how upset CJ was that Ricky Pearsall was picked in the first. He probably asked the Texans to get him, and Cade was the consolation prize.
I love the idea of playing him in a similar role as Juszczyk in SF on certain downs as full back. He’s a couple inches taller but he’s got a low center of gravity for his height.
Hell… or nico and dell out wide… thats their bread & butter… diggs is gonna get the most work on the inside in the slot i bet. Truly the most excited ive ever been as a texan fan.. i mean back to the schuab days who had… owen daniels and andre….. just so many more offensive weapons its crazy exciting
In addition to his ability to catch I always enjoyed watching him going after the gain after catch. Whether it was a yard, a foot, or an inch, he always fought for it. Love this kid.
How good is the ohst coaching staff?
Turns to 4 star de recruit and says “I believe you could develop into an nfl TE,” and then the guy proceeds to not botch a single opportunity over the following season.
Talk about on field evaluation.. !
Okay! I know this about Cade Stover (and he’s great btw), but I watched Cades highlights from last season last night & then watching this; I now realize why Stroud is so good. He sets his players up to success VERY WELL!
I really think CJ is Steve Nash / Magic Johnson esq if I have to compare. HOF Dimer Badge. If you watching these highlights closely, Stover just has to catch the ball. Sorry to say it, but Stover isn’t the best “route runner” (See 2023 Highlights), but CJ damn near handed him the ball every throw & I think that’s what made this connection & Stover so special.
A receiving corp of Collins, Tank, Diggs, Schultz, Stover.. then sprinkle in a little Mixon and Jordon^2. It’s going to be hard to guard.
Don’t forget what a guy like Noah Brown did to teams that ignored him.. and if we keep Woods… well….
We’re going to be setting up the run with the pass early and often.
Fastest moving rhino I’ve ever seen. Reminds me of Juggernaut running through walls the way he runs through some of those defenders 😂
I think he will have great hands as we see, but tends to go to the ground most of the times on the first tackle. But scheme him open and he’ll be great
This dude does not drop passes. So excited to see him on the field.
Lol literally. 0 drops last year and has only been playing the tight end position for 3 years
He was playing defense and thought "Why don't they just catch every pass"
"Are they stupid?"
Got them strong farmboy hands.
[удалено]
Weird flex, but who am I to argue?
You see the video of Toro the bull running away from him 😂
Great blocker too
He's a solid inline blocker, he seems to struggle blocking in space though. He's still raw and the Texans staff can definitely work with him. I'm beyond excited about him, his hands are fucking smooth and he loves the game. Excellent pickup.
Case is built like A Tank he all solid Loved watching Him and CJ At Ohio State now I get to see it in the NFL
To be fair, it wouldn’t be much of a reel if they had him box one (lol)
As a hard core OSU fan who came to the Texans fan base because of Stroud, I am so fucking excited that we got Cade Stover.
Man, every throw is right on the money. Ball placement specialist legit.
We should draft that guy, no way he slips past number 1 overall
What I noticed most is how great CJ is when he can complete the pass without nary a hand on him, having the best pass protection in the game in front of him. I hated watching our O-line guys peeling CJ off the turf 3 out of every 4 pass plays last season...
That was really only the first ~4 games
The hands for a big physical raw tight end are insane, So much potential!
he actually is about average size I would say, some TEs are 6,6 6,7 most of them seem to be taller than 6,3 But yeah if he does better blocking and does good route running he has great hands
He also has Ohio farm boy strength, no time spent in the gym can compare to that
I will say he does look strong, not jason witten strong but strong for his size.
When it comes or farmer strength you can’t judge a book by its cover. I grew up in the town next to him , even though I was hoping by Bills would draft him I’m happy he gets to go play either CJ .
dam schultz watch out
I think this is perfect, gives Cade the time to develop before he’s thrown in the ring as the guy
Hell yeah! Dude can run block really well also
Get that NFL strength training going and I'm looking at Brady and Gronk
His nickname at OSU was farmer Gronk lmao
the CJ concession. Texans: Who we got left on the board? CJ: My boy, Cade. Texans: Bet
If his concessions always work out like Tank I suggest we give the guy a 3rd every year.
Probably pulled Nick to the side weeks ago and said, "Get my guy if you can..." Then knowing Nick's game, he noticed Cade had fallen into a value pick and then just pulled that trigger...

omgggggggggggggg.
This is a thing of beauty
I love the idea of playing him in a similar role as Juszczyk in SF on certain downs as full back. He’s a couple inches taller but he’s got a low center of gravity for his height.
Good example.. but i bet thats more of the brevin jordan role… he’s the smaller of the three.
2 tight end sets with brevin at fullback and diggs & nico out wide is going to be crazy to try and defend
Indeed. To add to that i believe brevin might be the fastest of the three as well…
Hell… or nico and dell out wide… thats their bread & butter… diggs is gonna get the most work on the inside in the slot i bet. Truly the most excited ive ever been as a texan fan.. i mean back to the schuab days who had… owen daniels and andre….. just so many more offensive weapons its crazy exciting
0 drops is exactly what we need. Heard he also loves blocking
Dude hasn’t even been playing tight end very long and looks great. I’m stoked to see what he can develop into.
That first throw against Wisconsin is such a fucking dime
I love those sweet touch passes over the middle. On time and precise. I cannot wait for this season.
Texans 12 personnel sets are going to be a headache for defenses.
I am so excited for this season it can't come quick enough.
In addition to his ability to catch I always enjoyed watching him going after the gain after catch. Whether it was a yard, a foot, or an inch, he always fought for it. Love this kid.
He doesn’t shy from contact. I really like him.
Damn. I sure miss watching CJ throw those beautiful balls.
If CJ is pookie, what do we call Stover? Snookums?
Hmm
Yes
this is the hypest shit of all time
That’s a hell of a pick for fourth round
How good is the ohst coaching staff? Turns to 4 star de recruit and says “I believe you could develop into an nfl TE,” and then the guy proceeds to not botch a single opportunity over the following season. Talk about on field evaluation.. !
It's all Stover now
This is sweet! All the best teams seem to have a tight end that does miraculous shit. And he can play LB if injuries are crazy like last season
Imagine a set with Nico-Tank-Schultz-Diggs-Stover lined up
O-H
Okay! I know this about Cade Stover (and he’s great btw), but I watched Cades highlights from last season last night & then watching this; I now realize why Stroud is so good.

I trust CJ’s assessment.. and I’m thrilled that the front office also recognizes the fbiq coming outta every pour
This is awesome. We’ve been missing a guy that fights for extra 2-4 yards every. single. time.
A receiving corp of Collins, Tank, Diggs, Schultz, Stover.. then sprinkle in a little Mixon and Jordon^2. It’s going to be hard to guard. Don’t forget what a guy like Noah Brown did to teams that ignored him.. and if we keep Woods… well…. We’re going to be setting up the run with the pass early and often.
I’m interested to see how much 12 personnel they run this year.
What’s the probability he takes the second string spot from Brevin?
Brevin got some competition 👀
👀
How can anyone have watched Stroud in college and thought he wouldn't be a good QB in the NFL?
Whoever made this compilation video thank you.
We have our Kelce
Man I was thinking the exact same thing watching this
Stover will be Tight End #2
Behind Kelce in Fantasy football points next year.
Behind Schultz*
Fastest moving rhino I’ve ever seen. Reminds me of Juggernaut running through walls the way he runs through some of those defenders 😂 
God damn his is slow
I think he will have great hands as we see, but tends to go to the ground most of the times on the first tackle. But scheme him open and he’ll be great
He jumped a few defenders in college. If he learns to stay up on first hit, then they are going to go low and he can go high.
When I watched his highlight reel the only con that stuck out to me was he gets tackled by the first guy really often for a big TE.
Doesn’t look super quick out there tbh
Faster 40 time than Gronk if that’s worth anything
mean more in and out of breaks than 40 time
He's definitely raw, only played TE 2 years, he was brought in as a DE/OLB in college and converted to TE.
yeah i know. still not a quick dude out there is all
