Falcons punter reveals what he loves about Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud
Atlanta Falcons punter Bradley Pinion appears on OutKick's "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich" to talk C.J. Stroud and the NFL playoffs.
Houston Texans rookie C.J. Stroud has an ally in Atlanta Falcons punter Bradley Pinion after the quarterback’s belief in God and Jesus Christ became a topic of conversation last week.
Pinion, the Falcons’ nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, appeared on OutKick’s "Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich" and praised Stroud.
"I think Stroud is an amazing player. I love that he puts Christ first in every single interview that he does and just leads with Christ," Pinion told Dakich Tuesday.

Pinion added that he was a big fan of DeMeco Ryans and had a feeling he would be a "heck of a head coach" when Ryans got the opportunity. Ryans and the Texans were one win away from the AFC championship, but the team lost to the Baltimore Ravens Saturday.
Pinion and his wife Kaeleigh have launched "Punts for Purpose" alongside Compassion International with the goal of supporting child survival centers in the developing world. The punter is donating $1,000 to the charity for every one of his punts that fell within the 20-yard line this season.

According to the Falcons, Pinion has raised more than $20,000 for the cause.
