Fox College football analyst Brady Quinn made some stunning allegations against Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud which was reported by NFL writer Dov Kleiman.
Quinn reportedly said that Stroud had ghosted the Manning Passing Academy after he had promised to make an appearance.
“The Manning Passing Academy, I’ve been told that he committed to it the night before, just kind of ghosted them, didn’t show up,” Quinn said. “That’s football royalty. And when you do that, that’s going to set off some alarms for people like, ‘Hey man, that’s not how you conduct yourself, especially around the Manning family or just in general if you’re going to be a franchise quarterback.'”
He also questioned the young QB’s skills under pressure.
“A lot of quarterbacks have put up good numbers in Ryan Day’s system,” Quinn said. “Great offensive line that’s going to have one tackle, maybe both drafted in the first round, three of his offensive linemen drafted. There’s a lot of thought that he played with a lot of talent and maybe that played a role in it as well.”
After all that, Quinn did praise Stroud and his abilities but was not happy with Kleiman’s tweet about him failing to mention the positives he said about Stroud.
Now, Quinn is receiving backlash from current and former NFL players who think he is trying to sabotage, Stroud.
Both Jalen Ramsey and Ryan Clark spoke out against Quinn.
Despite Quinn trying to backtrack on his stories, the damage is already done.
