The Facts: One of the pre-draft knocks on Stroud related to his perceived leadership abilities. Stroud is determined to show true leadership in Houston. “Honestly, first and foremost, I just want to be — if it comes natural, to just be a leader on the team,” Stroud told reporters on Friday. “I think that’s the biggest thing for playing quarterback is to be not only vocal but lead by example. That’s something I think I bring to the table very well coming from a place like Ohio State where the quarterback is — other than LeBron [James], you’re like right under LeBron. You’re the leader of the whole state. I feel like I got good practice there."

Diehards Line: As PFT suggests, Joe Burrow and Deshaun Watson might disagree with Stroud’s assessment of the pecking order when it comes to sports leadership in Ohio, especially since LeBron has been gone for a while. But Stroud will have an opportunity to become that leader he aspires to be in Houston, because it’s natural for the quarterback of any NFL team to become one of the team’s leaders.
