Antonio Brown, former wide receiver, recently called out Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud for his strange warm-up routine. Stroud was spotted playing with a basketball before the Week 2 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The video has gone viral with many mixed reactions in the comments section.
Brown right away remarked that this weird pre-game routine is evidence that the 23-year-old quarterback does not want to win. Stroud’s warm-up routine is definitely not usual and the video has left many scratching their heads.
