He has quickly become a football star and is widely considered the potential first pick in this year’s NFL Draft. His passion, discipline, and dedication toward the sport made him one of the most promising college QB prospects of this year. Stroud’s unbelievable performance, his most passing yards in a single game at Ohio State, made him an instant hit. As expected, this ignited the fire in fans to know more about his personal life.
Who is CJ Stroud currently dating?
As the young QB prepares for the draft, fans are following his every move. As much as they have shown interest in his professional life, fans are eager to know more about his personal life as well.
Stroud is the youngest of four children who were born in California. His father was sentenced to 38 years in prison in California for various crimes. He was in middle school when this happened.

Even though Stroud had been a stunner on the field, he kept his personal and romantic life private. There is no known romantic history of the 21-year-old. But it could be that the player is keeping his business undercover or that he is not dating anyone at the moment. Therefore, we can safely say that he is dedicating his life to football.
The Panthers are no longer interested in acquiring the Ohio State QB
The Carolina Panthers traded up from the ninth selection to have the first pick in the NFL Draft. Their initial choice was Ohio State’s, C.J. Stroud. However, it looks like that is not the case anymore. Instead, the team is interested in the Florida Gators QB Anthony Richardson.
The team has been trying to find its perfect signal-caller after Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield struggled at the position. Hence, they decided that they needed to be aggressive in their pursuit of finishing their new guy. Throughout the draft process, only two names came up. The team reportedly only considered Stroud and Alabama’s Bryce Young.

In the midst of such news, another negative report came out about the young talent. Michael Lombardi, a former NFL executive, does not have much trust in Stroud. On his podcast, The Lombardi Line, he said that he was unsure if the Houston Texans would take him because he was difficult to coach.

What the former Cleveland Browns general manager did was ask around if the rumors had any basis. “I said, ‘You know, I heard C.J. Stroud’s not an easy guy to coach,’ yeah, and everybody echoes that back to you,” Lombardi said. “I’m not saying he’s not a good player. I like C.J. Stroud. Would I pick him at two? I don’t know.”
It will be interesting to see where Stroud finally ends up.
