Stroud's father is serving a long sentence in Folsom State Prison
Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud had an incredible Sunday as he led the team to a victory in the final seconds against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Stroud took the opportunity to talk about his father, Coleridge Bernard Stroud III, who remains incarcerated after receiving a 38 years to life sentence after pleading guilty in 2016 to carjacking, kidnapping and robbery charges in a drug-related incident.
Stroud, who has been open about his faith in the past, has relied on a strong support system with his family and friends even through his father may not see him play. He said he was praying his father could catch a break and get to NRG Stadium one day to see him play.
"Our criminal justice system isn’t right, and it’s something that I need to probably be a little more vocal about, because what he’s going through is not right," C.J. Stroud said. "He called me this week, and we got to talk, and I’m praying for the situation and a reform, and the people with reform are helping me a little bit.
"But, I think just letting it be known that it’s not just my dad’s situation, but the whole criminal justice system is corrupt."
