Ohio State’s pro day had a large contingent of coaches, scouts and even NFL team owners on hand mostly to watch the potential first overall pick, quarterback CJ Stroud, go through drills. 

Stroud and Alabama’s Bryce Young are the consensus top two quarterbacks, and in turn, the top two picks in the 2023 NFL Draft in late April, which is why many looked on as he had a positive day in Columbus. 

The Carolina Panthers own the first overall pick in the Draft after making a blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bears to acquire it. Team owner David Tepper, new head Frank Reich and more were there to get an up-close look at their potential new quarterback.

Perhaps that’s exactly what they’re thinking about doing with that top pick after what quarterbacks coach Josh McCown had to say to Stroud. 

McCown was caught on camera talking to Stroud after his workout. 

"You spun it well bro. That was great," McCown said.

After shaking hands with Tepper and Reich, McCown spoke to Stroud one more time about playing a game of horse on a basketball court. In doing so, McCown said this: 

"Maybe when you live in Charlotte, we’ll find a court."

Stroud laughed and said, "I’m going to take his money"
