Over the last few days, we have started to see what kind of athlete former Ohio State quarterback [autotag]C.J. Stroud[/autotag] is.

One instance involved a story about him putting up 40 points against NBA player Jaime Jaquez in high school. Former Penn State linebacker Micah Parson has a podcast called The Edge, and Stroud was a guest recently. He told the current Dallas Cowboys star that he light up Jaquez while they were both prepping in California.

Jaquez went on to star at UCLA, gaining All-American honors, Pac-12 Player of the year in 2023, and was the first round pick of the Miami Heat.

That’s not Stroud’s only exploit away from the gridiron, as he participated in rapper Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Celebrity Softball Classic. To no one’s surprise, the NFL Rookie of the Year was ripping dingers.

Stroud is quite the impressive athlete and every is starting to see that he can do most things at a pretty high level.
