C.J. Stroud dressed to impress for the 2023 NFL Draft held outside of Union Station in Kansas City, Mo., tonight.
The player, who currently plays for the Ohio State Buckeyes, was a highly touted recruit and emerged as the starting quarterback for Ohio State during the 2021 college football season. As the second pick during the NFL Draft, Stroud is now headed to play for the Houston Texans.
The Heisman trophy winner donned a custom suit from Soto & Co. by Rick Soto. The three-piece design featured a classic lapel on the blazer and a tailored fit on the pants. Best of all, he worked with artist Blue The Great to add some extra flair to the look with multi-colored spiders painted throughout.
In an interview on the red carpet with his teammate Jaxon Smith-Njigba, he said, “I always say try to look Pastor Sharp. Yeah, man, I’m blessed to be able to look good.”
He went on to share that on his feet was a pair of Christian Louboutin loafers – 1 of 22 pairs made. These loafers are adorned with embellishments and feature a stacked heel, round toe, notched vamp, grosgrain trim, a slip-on style and Christian Louboutin‘s signature red leather outsole.
