Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud is on the short list of players who are in the discussion to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft. He’d likely have a little more traction to land that lofty honor if he had shown more with his legs during his career with the Buckeyes.
Stroud is known for his precision passing, aggressive throws and ability to manipulate defenses. But he’s not known as a runner despite showing some impressive athleticism and speed at select times. It’s been a point of contention in the debate over Stroud as a prospect. He’s aware of that, and he now wishes he would have ameliorated those concerns on the field in college.
