Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud announces to set foot in NFL draft 2023

This season the NFL turned out to be intense with the mix of experienced and young players. Youngsters like Brock Purdy, one of the draft’s last picks, showed his talent throughout the season, leading the 49ers in the playoffs, where he scored three touchdowns and moved forward to the Divisional round. 

Young players bring added excitement to the tournament, and as College Football is constantly improving, the pipeline of the NFL remains strong, with new players emerging every season, especially from Ohio State. Two first-round quarterbacks have come out of Ohio State in the last few years: Justin Fields -selected 11th overall by the Bears in 2021, and the late Dwayne Haskins -picked 15th overall by the Redskins in 2019.

After a good run in the Peach Bowl, C.J. Stroud, the quarterback for Ohio State, announced Monday that he is willing to participate in the next edition of the NFL.
