The NFL Draft is less than three months away.
This year’s draft will be held in Kansas City, the site where the lives of so many athletes will be changed forever.
Although there are many elite athletes at all positions, this year’s quarterback class has the makings to be one of the best in the past ten seasons.
Ahead of the big day, one of the most highly-touted prospects made an interesting comment about a potential future landing spot.
CJ Stroud said in a recent interview that he wants to “team up” with Chad Ochocinco’s favorite route runner in football.

CJ Stroud, a former member of the Ohio State Buckeyes, is one of the top quarterbacks on many teams’ draft boards.
He has recently commented about the possibility of teaming up with Davante Adams, one of the league’s top receivers.
There is a vacancy on the Las Vegas Raiders, given the fact that Derek Carr has been released.
The Raiders will have the seventh pick in the draft, meaning that they might be able to draft Stroud, assuming he isn’t taken in the first six picks.
Will the Raiders try and trade up for Stroud, knowing that he wants to play with Adams?
Unfortunately for the Raiders, a few other teams are drafting ahead of them that need a quarterback as well.
One of those teams could have their sights set on Stroud, which could leave both him and the Raiders disappointed.
There is plenty of time for the Raiders to orchestrate a trade, should they believe that Stroud is their long-term answer at quarterback.
