NFL Comparison: Justin Herbert at Oregon
Range: Top 10
The Buckeyes Junior has been one of the most productive players in college football since taking over from where Justin Fields left off. The Heisman finalist has thrown for 78 TDs and 7,200 yards with only 10 interceptions. At 6’3” 220 lbs, Stroud has a solid NFL build, which is just another box that he checks off. Stroud’s tape is extremely clean, but there are times that he gets caught with a hand in the cookie jar or trying to be aggressive and do too much for his team. His traits are very solid and his arm talent reminds me a lot of Justin Herbert coming out of college. He is one of the quickest mental processors in college football and possesses incredible touch to layer the football all around the field. The balanced, yet elite blend of tangible traits and intangible attributes is only the start of the discussion of why I believe Stroud has what it takes to be a Superstar in the NFL.
