01/15/23 - QB *C.J. Stroud, rSo/2023, Ohio State

Most of Ohio State football's eligible players have announced their intentions for April's NFL Draft - with one very notable exception. In fact, 29 of the 32 players listed in the first round of a new CBS mock draft Friday have declared their entry. Two of the exceptions are receivers Jordan Addison of USC and Quentin Johnson of TCU, projected as mid first-round selections. The other is Buckeyes quarterback C.J. Stroud, frequently listed among the contenders to go No. 1 overall. Stroud's departure for the draft after three seasons has been considered a formality since, at the latest, his transformation into a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2021. The widespread certainty only grew when he followed up with another strong season.

His presence as one of the top three quarterbacks in this draft - along with Kentucky's Will Levis and Alabama's Bryce Young - is shaping the conversation around several NFL franchises this winter. Yet Stroud has deliberated more than expected on this decision. The deadline for early entry - players leaving after their third year of college - is Monday. There is precedent here. Other no-doubt NFL quarterback talents have come back for an extra year. Peyton Manning did it at Tennessee a generation ago, and things worked out fine for him long term. Andrew Luck was expected to go No. 1 overall in 2011, stayed at Stanford, and went No. 1 the next year. Oregon's Justin Herbert might have been the top quarterback taken in a somewhat soft 2019 class, but held off to go sixth overall in 2020. - Cleveland Plain Dealer
