CJ Stroud works out with Justin Fields, Deshaun Watson, prepares for Ohio State season
C.J. Stroud continues to prepare for the 2022 season.
The Ohio State redshirt sophomore quarterback was in Dallas July 1-3 to help coach a Nike Football Skills Camp with Buckeyes wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and safety Ronnie Hickman, along with Texas running back Bijan Robinson and Texas linebacker Demarvion Overshown.
It seems like Stroud is sticking around a bit longer.
He was seen in Austin, Texas, working out with former Ohio State and current Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields, former Liberty and newly-drafted Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis and Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Watson is currently awaiting a ruling from the NFL on possible punishment after allegations of sexual misconduct during massage therapy sessions, reaching confidential settlements with all but four of the women who accused him.
Last season, Stroud finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy race, finishing the season with 4,425 passing yards, 44 touchdowns and six interceptions. Fields, the second quarterback in Ohio State history to be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, finished third in 2019, while Watson finished third in 2015 and second in 2016.
Stroud is one of the top NFL Draft-eligible quarterbacks heading into the 2022 season, along with Alabama quarterback Bryce Young.
Stroud is scheduled to be back in Columbus July 10 for a football camp at Ohio Dominican University, along with Smith-Njigba and cornerback Denzel Burke.
