HOUSTON — Houston's C.J. Stroud was excited to talk to Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford on Thursday. But the second-year signal caller tried to play it cool after the Texans and Rams practiced together in advance Saturday's preseason game. He walked over to where their quarterbacks were standing and greeted the rest of the quarterbacks before approaching Stafford. "I have been a fan of Matthew Stafford for a long time," he said. "(But) I wasn't trying to be a fan boy." Stroud also wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to pick the brain of Stafford, who is entering his 16th NFL season.
