C.J. Stroud has some solid skills off the field, too.

During the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl media day on Thursday, ahead of the College Football Playoff Semifinal, Stroud provided a little fun moment, utilizing his artistic abilities.

Ohio State’s junior quarterback made media days a bit more exciting than answering questions from reporters and drew OSU’s mascot, Brutus.

 

 

Stroud,  who has had an unreal season for the Buckeyes, is hoping that the season pushes on past Saturday against Georgia in the CFP Semifinal. He was excellent this season with an outstanding 3,340 passing yards, 37 touchdowns, an overall QBR of 87.7. He was also in the running for the Heisman Trophy.
