Deion Sanders doesn't care what helmet C.J. Stroud wore in college. And he doesn't think anyone else should either.Stroud's draft stock has taken a tumble recently, that he might not even be guaranteed to go in the top seven picks despite entering the field as a consensus top-two quarterback in the 2023 NFL Draft cla s.Sanders said in an interview with "The Pat McAfee Show" A.J. Greer Jersey that fans and teams need to stop helmet scouting as he praised Stroud as the second-best quarterback in the cla s."He's getting criticized and blamed for the lack of succe s for the former Ohio State quarterbacks," Sanders said. "That has nothing to do with this kid. But let's do a long list right now in your mind of the former Ohio State quarterbacks, and that list ain't pretty of how they've fared in the NFL.""CJ Stroud is getting blamed for the lack of succe s that other Ohio State QBs have had in the NFL" ~ Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) MORE: There has indeed been little past succe s from Ohio State quarterbacks in the NFL. , only five former Buckeye signal Kevin Connauton Men Jersey -callers have approximate values in double-digits. One of them, Joe Burrow, only finished his undergraduate in Columbus and saw limited action as a backup before transferring and later being drafted first overall out of LSU. Only eight have started double-digit career games in the Super Bowl era.

Schlicter started six games in a career shortened by a gambling addiction.That's certainly not a group that has a long track record of succe s. Haskins was drafted by Washington with the expectation of eventually becoming the team's franchise quarterback, but was released after his second season with the team. Fields largely struggled in his rookie season, with seven touchdown pa ses to 10 interceptions, but rebounded Teemu Selanne Kids Jersey to become a standout dual-threat quarterback in 2022.In his second season in the NFL, Fields completed 60.4 percent of his pa ses for 2,242 pa sing yards, 17 touchdowns and 11 picks while rushing 160 times for 1,143 yards and scoring eight times on the ground in his first season under coach Matt Eberflus.MORE: But past quarterback performances from a certain college in the NFL are not an indicator of future performances. Before Jalen Hurts, who transferred to Oklahoma, and Tua Tagovailoa, the last Alabama quarterback to reach even 2,000 pa sing yards in a single season came all the way back in 1984, when Richard Todd (the sixth overall pick in 1976) reached the mark.Perhaps the most insightful information one could glean from collegiate trends would be the coach a player had. Haskins had Day as a co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, but Urban Meyer as a head coach, while both Fields and Stroud had Day as the head coach and Kevin Wilson as an offensive coordinator.Stroud is a different Colin Wilson Jersey prospect than any of the previous quarterbacks to come to Ohio State. That he had Buckeye decals and a red stripe down the middle of his helmet like the others shouldn't affect how he is perceived by teams.
