C.J. Stroud has wanted more control over the offense and going into his third season, it looks like he's finally getting it with his new offensive coordinator.
“Yeah, that would be between me and [OC Nick Caley]," Stroud said Tuesday when asked if he wants more control of the offense. "And that was something that I did want, and I've gotten that now. But that takes ownership. We've been able to watch a lot of [Tom] Brady. And there was clips back in 2003 or 2004 when him and Josh McDaniels first started. And so, it took him time to master it. So, it did take time for me to master it fully.
"But I am buying into it and trying my best to be as great as I can at it. So yeah, but it's something that I wanted and I'm getting."
Seth Payne and Sean Pendergast discuss Stroud throwing Tuesday after dealing with shoulder soreness; how he wanted to improve this offseason and what he likes about offensive coordinator Nick Caley's offense.
