Ohio State quarterback brings important trait to NFL game
The biggest question about all quarterbacks entering the NFL is whether their game can translate to the NFL from the college game.

Stroud, who interests the quarterback-needy Las Vegas Raiders, showed one trait during his college career that made him stand out above the other quarterbacks entering this draft. According to a recent tweet by CFB Film Room, Stroud avoided drive-killing mistakes when he was pressured. Here’s how he stacked up against the other top quarterbacks in the draft class:
