Brady Quinn explained on a CBS Sports podcast that he had heard a few concerns about Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft.Ryan Clark did not take kindly to them and let Quinn know about itClark  who played 13 years in the NFL and won Super Bowl 43 with the Steelers  called out Quinn on Twitter. The ESPN analyst wrote that he thought that Quinn's comments about Stroud were "an immature evaluation of football integrity."MORE: This is an example of analyst like telling stories of 0 value to diminish a mans character while validating his own. Instead of di secting film, or speaking to coaches an adult man stooped to go sip while analyzing. Its an immature Adolis García Jersey  evaluation of football integrity  Ryan Clark (@Realrclark25) So, what did Quinn say to warrant that type of clap-back from Clark? It appeared to be a comment about Stroud's attendance  or lack thereof  at the Manning Pa sing Academy run by Peyton, Eli and Cooper Manning that irked the defensive back the most."The Manning Pa sing Academy, I've been told that he committed to it the night before, just kind of ghosted them, didn't show up," Quinn said, as transcribed by . "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.'"Clark quickly pointed out in response to that criticism that Stroud had chosen to work out with his teammates at Ohio State rather than attend the Manning camp. Thus, he believed the Ohio State quarterback didn't deserve the criticism.CJ Stroud never committed to attend the Manning camp.He chose Ian Gibaut Jersey  to work with his teammates at instead before his final season.He wasnt paid to go, & furthermore what does acquiescing to the Manning family have to do with leading an organization? Ryan Clark (@Realrclark25) Clark's ESPN colleague Robert Griffin III echoed that criticism of Quinn in a tweet of his own.Brady Quinns attempt to tear down CJ Strouds character was BOGUS. CJ DID NOT no-show at the Manning Pa sing Academy without warning because he DID NOT COMMIT TO GOING. I know because I did the research. said he simply repeated something he was told, but it is Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) MORE:Funnily enough, Quinn  Joe Palumbo Jersey actually acknowledged to Clark that he "didn't put stock" in what he had been told about Stroud's non-attendance at the Manning Pa sing Academy.Quinn said that he had merely been asked why Stroud could slip in the 2023 NFL Draft, so he answered the question.If one actually listened to the podcast, I didnt put stock in that & have been always complimentary of CJ and was in this podcast. Brady Quinn (@Brady_Quinn) Quinn's point is well-taken. He did praise Stroud during the podcast appearance and was particularly complimentary of Stroud's accuracy."He's the most accurate quarterback in this draft cla s, he showcased his athleticism ability," Quinn said. "Any time I've been around the kid, he's been an upstanding young man who's grown and matured into a leader I think NFL teams are looking for." Jonathan Hernandez Jersey MORE: At the same time, it is worth wondering why Quinn would feel the need to parrot the Manning Pa sing Academy rumor if he didn't put any stock into it. Sure, he was asked about Stroud slipping, but he could have written off the Manning Pa sing Academy rumor as a smokescreen or sour grapes while addre sing the difficult transition Stroud may face entering the NFL."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 Ronald Guzman Jersey  a lot of thought that he played with a lot of talent and maybe that played a role in it as well."Instead, Quinn put both thoughts on there. And now, he is paying the price for his a sociation with the Manning rumor.It will be interesting to see, however, whether the rumors of a Stroud slide are true. But even if he escapes the top two picks, it seems likely he will be a top-four selection, whether a team trades up with the Cardinals to pick him or he is chosen by the Colts at No. 4 overall.
