Hawkeye – CJ Stroud, QB, Ohio State

I can hear the jokes already, but comparing CJ Stroud to Hawkeye is one of the best compliments a quarterback can receive. Stroud is a precise passer, displaying elite touch on throws downfield and the velocity to fit tight windows when necessary.

Like Clint Barton, Stroud is at his best when stationary. It allows them to set their feet and deliver an arrow to their intended target. People sleep on Barton’s ability while on the move, as the accuracy does decline a bit, but he still flexes top-tier accuracy nonetheless. The top 2023 NFL Draft prospect proved the same vs. Georgia and will look to continue doing so on Sundays for the next decade.
