Head coach DeMeco Ryans has praised Stroud and the way he has handled the pressure and responsibility of being a leader. Stroud was the second overall pick in the NFL Draft and is going to be given ever opportunity to start the season as the Texans’ starter. Stroud currently ranks as the QB27 in ECR, according to FantasyPros.

LaFleur added that Musgrave “looks different” than what the Packers have had at tight end in past and that he is a quick learner. “He does have an elite trait in that he can flat fly, and he’s a large target,” LaFleur said. The Packers selected Musgrave in the second-round back in April and he seems to be playing himself into an immediate role early on in camp. There is still a lot of offseason left for him to prove himself, but he appears to have the early edge among Green Bay tight ends to see the field quite a bit this season.
