STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Stroud could return to rookie form with improved run game support.

Bill Barnwell projects Stroud could resemble his rookie-year version in 2026 if the Texans' reconfigured offensive line and addition of David Montgomery finally unlock a competent run game; Stroud was a solid-or-better starter in the regular season despite lacking a running game, though his postseason meltdown is a noted concern that could carry over.
