"We had an idea that stuff was going": $2,900,000 worth CJ Stroud makes shocking Michigan sign-stealing revelation

Former Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud has commented on the recent Michigan sign-stealing allegation. In his two-season tenure as the Buckeyes starting quarterback, Stroud was unable to defeat Ohio State, losing the Big Ten Championship to the Wolverines both seasons.

During an NFL news conference on Wednesday, CJ Stroud was questioned about the matter. The Houston Texans quarterback made it known that the Ohio State team had an idea that Michigan was stealing signs but that doesn’t take away their brilliance.

“We had an idea that stuff was going on but at the end of the day it is what it is. I’m not here to go back and forth with that. I’m a Texan now. It is what it is. I’m not tripping off that.

“They beat us. It is what it is. I’m not super happy with that, but man I’m in the NFL now. I’m not worried about what happened in college.”

Stroud, who possesses a net worth of $2.9 million, signed a four-year, $36.3 million contract with the Texans.
