Impersonator Sneaks Into Houston Rodeo as Texans QB C.J. Stroud

Colin Drum, a Twitch streamer with a striking resemblance to Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, successfully snuck into the Houston Rodeo by leveraging his looks and wearing a Stroud jersey. Despite the event's tight security, Drum was able to convince attendees that he was the real Stroud, posing for photos and signing autographs without ever claiming to be the NFL star. His prank echoes previous stunts by impersonators, including a notorious incident involving a Patrick Mahomes lookalike. While most fans seemed taken in by the ruse, some noted that the jersey Drum wore was a giveaway, as it is unusual for professional athletes to don their own jerseys in public. C.J. Stroud, who has made a significant impact in the NFL since being drafted second overall in 2023, remains a prominent figure in Houston sports culture. The incident highlights both the celebrity status of athletes and the creativity of content creators in the social media age.
