Scout Analysis: Ohio State Strengths, Weaknesses QB CJ Stroud

 Beginning two years at Ohio State, CJ Stroud led head coach Ryan Day to creative, powerful attack, throwing 85 touchdowns and 8,123 yards.

Strengths: The Stroud has a good size (6 feet-3 and 218 pounds) and the toughness to stay firmly in the bag in the face of pressure. He benefits from having dynamic weapons on the belt -- including NFL first picks Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave -- and exhibits good accuracy in the mid to deep areas. of the yard.

Stroud can determine the pressure in a pre-read and adjust the protection accordingly. He has excellent movement in and out of the pocket but seems to prefer playing from the inside. His ability to extend play and his passing accuracy were underrated aspects of his game.

When Stroud puts his foot in the clean bag, he creates good velocity and throws with good anticipation. He has a good understanding of "situational football" in regards to timing and scoring in key moments of the game.

Weaknesses: In regards to technique and mechanics, he has to keep improving his presence in his pocket by sensing the rush and always paying attention to the field. He needs to be more consistent in keeping the ball with both hands in his pocket. Also, by raising his release point, he can speed up his operations and increase his accuracy.

He needs to continue to develop the ability to move defenders with his eyes while still reading primary or secondary.

Conclusion: Teams will watch the College Football League semifinal lose to Georgia and be enthralled with Stroud's combination of physical tools and athletic records. Against the Bulldogs, Stroud had an excellent game (23 to 34 in 348 yards) against NFL caliber players.

While there may be questions regarding who is primarily responsible for the success of the Day attack - the plan, the dynamic weapon on the perimeter, or the QB - the answer is likely to be a combination of all three.

Some reviewers will also mention Ohio State quarterbacks whose college success doesn't translate into the NFL (Cardale Jones, Dwayne Haskins). But if you allow this player's traits, skill set, and overall makeup to guide you, you understand the excitement surrounding his potential.
