C.J. Stroud has had a lot of pressure on him since joining the Houston Texans in 2023, mostly because of how successful he's already been in his young career.

Manning spoke highly of Stroud while appearing alongside the young quarterback at Fanatics Fest this week. The retired QB compared his legendary career to Stroud's to show how incredible Stroud has been already, even if critics called the 2024 season a "down year" for him.
