It’s no secret that the 2020 NFL Draft class of quarterbacks has been one of the most talked-about in recent memory. With the likes of Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, and Justin Herbert all being selected in the first round, it’s easy to forget about the other quarterbacks in the class. One of those quarterbacks is C.J. Stroud, who was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the seventh round.
Stroud is a Texas native who attended high school in the Lone Star State. He was a three-star recruit coming out of high school and was ranked as the No. 15 pro-style quarterback in the class of 2020. Despite his ranking, Stroud was able to make an impression on the college football world when he enrolled at Ohio State in 2019.
During his freshman season at Ohio State, Stroud was able to make a name for himself as a dual-threat quarterback. He threw for 1,654 yards, 12 touchdowns, and four interceptions while also rushing for 545 yards and six touchdowns. His impressive performance earned him Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors and made him one of the top prospects in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Now that he’s been drafted by the Cowboys, Stroud is looking to make an even bigger impression on the NFL. He’s already impressed his new teammates with his work ethic and determination, and he’s eager to prove himself on the field.
Stroud is also looking to make an impression on his fellow Texans. He’s already made a name for himself in Texas high school football circles, but now he’s looking to make a name for himself on the national stage. He’s hoping that his success in the NFL will inspire other Texas high schoolers to pursue their dreams and show that anything is possible with hard work and dedication.
C.J. Stroud is off to a great start in his NFL career, and he’s already making waves among his fellow Texans. He’s determined to make an impact on and off the field, and he’s sure to be an exciting player to watch in the years to come.
