Just over a week ahead of the 2023 NFL draft, the football world is abuzz with chatter surrounding the top quarterbacks in this year’s class. With seemingly marginal differences separating the top prospects, the latest bit of news coming out regarding Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud could present a potential cause for concern.
Speaking as a guest on the Pick Six Podcast, former NFL quarterback-turned-Fox Sports analyst Brady Quinn shared an anecdote about Stroud bailing on a commitment to the esteemed Manning Passing Academy, a renowned camp for high school quarterbacks. According to Quinn, Stroud’s no-show has given some teams slight pause in their pre-draft evaluations.
