So, I got curious about this guy, C.J. Stroud, the football player. I heard some things about him and his family, and I wanted to dig a little deeper. It all started when I saw something about his dad being in prison. Yeah, you heard that right. Apparently, his dad, Coleridge Bernard Stroud III, got into some serious trouble back in 2015.
First thing I did was hit up Google. I typed in “C.J. Stroud parents” and started reading. It turns out his dad pleaded guilty to a bunch of charges like carjacking, kidnapping, robbery, and some other stuff. Since he wasn’t a first-time offender, he got a hefty sentence—38 years. That’s a long time.
Next, I looked into C.J. Stroud himself. He’s the quarterback for the Texans, and they were talking about him leading the team to a playoff win. I watched a few of his interviews, and the guy is all about his faith. Every time he’s on camera, he makes sure to thank Jesus Christ. It’s kinda cool to see someone so open about it.
- Searched: Looked up details about C.J. Stroud and his family online.
- Found: Discovered his dad’s legal issues and long prison sentence.
- Watched: Checked out some interviews with C.J. Stroud.
- Noted: Observed his strong Christian faith and how he expresses it.
I also learned that C.J. has two older brothers and an older sister. His mom, Kimberly Stroud, raised him mostly on her own after his dad went to prison. They seem to have a strong bond. They even have a foundation together, but I didn’t dive too much into that.
Digging a Little Deeper
Then I stumbled upon this little tidbit about C.J. playing in a league when he was younger, he said something like, “I played for his league.” I guess that was a nod to his dad, even with all the complicated stuff going on. It made me think about how tough it must have been for him growing up with all of that happening in the background. But hey, he turned out alright, making it to the NFL and all.
This whole thing got me thinking about how people deal with family issues, especially when it’s all out there in public. It’s a reminder that everyone’s got their own story, even the people we see on TV.
Anyway, that’s my little deep dive into C.J. Stroud and his family. It was an interesting couple of hours, for sure.
