C.J. Stroud is a leading candidate to take home the 2022 Heisman Trophy as college football’s top player. The Ohio State quarterback finished fourth in last year’s voting after throwing 44 touchdowns and averaging a shade under 370 passing yards per game in his first season as a starter. Now he’s back for the No. 2 ranked Buckeyes and hoping to add an NCAA championship to his already robust draft resume.
This is an asset off the field as well. Stroud has benefitted from name, image and likeness (NIL) deals that allow him to make endorsements and turn his mastery in and out of the pocket into cash. And he’s sharing those benefits with his teammates.
