Skull Session: C.J. Stroud is “not a test taker“ but a football player, JSN calls Stroud “the best player in this draft“ and Ohio State's suit game is always strong.
At the end of the day, I don’t have nothing to prove to nobody. I’m not gonna sit here and explain how I process football. The people who are making the picks know what I can do, so that’s all that matters to me.
And I’m going to stand on that. I know what I can do, I know what I can process. If I’m not the smartest quarterback in this draft, I know I’m one of the smartest quarterbacks in the NFL when I step in there tomorrow. I have confidence in myself. I don’t think you can play at Ohio State and not be smart. I don’t have nothing to prove to nobody man. At the end of the day, if you don’t trust and believe in me, I’ll tell you to watch this.
However, all of that will come to an end Thursday. Whether Stroud is picked first, second, third, fourth or later, he will be selected and eventually become the starting quarterback of an NFL franchise. Of course, with that title comes a different kind of ridicule and sneer, but that's for later down the road. Here and then, Stroud determines and will determine the level of his success; not, as Roosevelt once said,"the critic who counts.
There are only a few players that JSN believes match his level of performance. Even then, Stroud stands above them all. And for a good reason. The Inland Empire, California, native rewrote the program record book at Ohio State. He also helped Smith-Njigba put his name in a few places in the record book in 2021 as part of a season in which he collected 95 receptions, 1,606 yards and nine touchdowns.
