In recent weeks, C.J. Stroud has been the source of several negative reports with one report suggesting that he is difficult to coach and another revealing some very concerning cognitive test scores. As a result, it seems like he might not even be selected among the top seven picks of the 2023 NFL Draft.
“Then there’s the quarterback mystery. A month ago, C.J. Stroud was the odds-on favorite to be the first pick in the draft. Today, it’s no lock he goes in the top seven, which seems (and is) insane. Will Levis was an afterthought in many draft rooms as this month dawned; now he might be the fourth overall pick. Eleven years after an accomplished 5-10 3/4 quarterback, Russell Wilson, was picked 75th overall, an accomplished quarterback half-an-inch shorter, Bryce Young, is projected to go first overall,” King wrote on Monday morning.
It’s been a horrible couple of weeks for Stroud, and the NFL world had plenty to say about it.
