NFL Draft 2023 rumors Texans down to two QB choices for No. 2 pick heres what sets these prospects apart
The , the owners of the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, have narrowed down their quarterback search to two pa sers,: Alabama's Bryce Young and Ohio State's C.J. Stroud, the consensus top two quarterbacks in the upcoming draft.
