Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud will throw at this week's NFL Draft combine
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud will throw the ball in front of scouts at the combine. He and Tom Pelissero reported that news on Monday morning, with Rapoport tweeting: “Ohio State QB C.J. Stroud will throw at this week’s NFL Scouting Combine, sources tell me and @TomPelissero.”
The two also reported that one of Stroud’s main competitors at the top of the draft, Bryce Young will not throw at the combine, but will instead wait until Alabama’s pro day to showcase his arm in front of scouts. Although they made sure to note that Young is not avoiding playing due to injury. However, he will only be doing interviews in Indianapolis this week while Stroud will throw.
So Stroud will participate in the combine, but he’s not the only Buckeye. He along with these seven other OSU players will all try to make their mark this week:
