C.J. was born to parents Kimberly and Coleridge Bernard Stroud III on Oct. 3, 2001, in Rancho Cucamonga, California. He has three older siblings Isaiah, Asmar, and Ciara. Their mother filed for divorce from their father in 2012 and Coleridge is currently serving a 38-year prison sentence after being convicted on charges of carjacking, kidnapping, robbery, and misdemeanor sexual battery.

Kimberly raised her children as a single working mother and the family struggled financially. Throughout the ups and downs of his youth, C.J. continued to focus on athletics. When he was 12, he received a call from Priest Brooks, a former rapper and producer with Death Row Records. At the time, Brooks was coaching the Pomona Steelers in the Snoop Youth Football League, which was founded by rap icon Snoop Dogg.

“Kids in other communities didn’t have football that met the prices that their mothers could afford,” Snoop told ESPN about the youth league he started. “At the same time opening up to other kids as well. But the initial thought was to help out the urban inner-city and give them opportunities to play.”

The youth league taught C.J. invaluable lessons and how to create relationships with his teammates.

He recalled: “I started hanging out with guys off the field, my mom would have kids come over and spend the night. She would allow me to go over to their houses. It was good for me to learn, this is how you build a brotherhood. I wasn’t even thinking about that back then. But now that I’m older, that’s what that was.”

In high school C.J. was named offensive player of the year, MVP of the Elite 11, and selected to play in the 2020 All-American Bowl before he committed to Ohio State.

The quarterback ended his rookie campaign with the Texans setting franchise records for most passing yards in a rookie season and most passing touchdowns in a rookie season. He also tied the rookie record for most passing touchdowns in a playoff game by throwing three against the Cleveland Browns. The Texans cruised to victory in that game making C.J. the youngest quarterback to win a playoff game in league history, at the age of 22.

In July 2023, C. J. signed a 4-year, $36 million contract which included a $23 million signing bonus. He has an estimated net worth of $12 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
