Former Ohio State and current Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud knows a thing or two about what it takes to play in the NFL. The second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Stroud took the league by storm earning several Player of the Month awards, was a Pro Bowl selection, and was named the 2023 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. While he took a step back in year two, he is a well-respected professional even after just two years in the league.
Stroud was recently asked about one of his former receivers at OSU, Emeka Egbuka, and his potential at the next level. As you might imagine, Stroud had nothing but glowing comments about his former teammate in Scarlet and Gray. Stroud and Egbuka only spent two years together but it didn't take long for the former Buckeye quarterback to see greatness. Even though Egbuka came to Ohio State as the No. 1 rated receiver in the nation coming out of high school, he didn't take anything for granted and was immediately one of the hardest workers on the team, a trait Stroud believes will ensure success in the NFL.
Stroud also takes a few moments to reflect on many of his former teammates who will be playing on Sundays come next fall. It is interesting to see the bond that was formed in such a short time. This must be what they mean when they talk about the Brotherhood. Check out Stroud's comments below.
The 2025 NFL Draft kicks off on Thursday evening and will run through Saturday afternoon. At least 15 Buckeyes are projected to hear their names called over those three days as they will find out where they'll start their professional careers.
