C.J. Stroud Not Shocked By Daniel Jones’ Play, Reminds Him Of Mayfield Resurgence

But sometimes, you just need a fresh start,” Stroud told TMZ Sports. “I’m not shocked at all by his play this season. Sometimes a change in scenery can do wonders for a player’s confidence and performance.”

Stroud went on to compare Jones’ resurgence to that of Baker Mayfield, who found success with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after leaving the Cleveland Browns.

“It’s not uncommon for a change of scenery to reignite a player’s career,” Stroud said. “Jones has always had the talent, and now he’s finally getting the opportunity to showcase it on a different team.”

With Jones leading the Colts to a strong start to the season, it’s clear that the change has been beneficial for both the player and the team. Stroud’s insight into Jones’ play sheds light on the impact a change in scenery can have on a player’s performance and career trajectory.

As the season continues, all eyes will be on Daniel Jones and the Colts to see if they can maintain their success. But one thing is for sure — C.J. Stroud won’t be surprised by any more standout performances from the talented quarterback.

With Jonathan Taylor, their offensive line, Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, and Michael Pittman, the Indianapolis Colts have built a solid foundation around their quarterback, Daniel Jones. Former NFL player C.J. Stroud praised the team’s support system for Jones, noting that they have the pieces in place to take the load off him and help him succeed.

Jones, who has led the Colts to a 7-1 record, has impressed with his 13 touchdown passes and a 71% completion percentage. His performance on the field has been a major factor in the team’s success this season.

Stroud compared Jones’ story to that of other star quarterbacks who struggled early in their careers but found success with the right support system. He mentioned Baker Mayfield as an example, who revived his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after struggling with the Cleveland Browns.

“Guys who were early picks that you know didn’t really pan out on the first teams, and they figure it out when they get people who believe in them, they get people who want to see them succeed, and I think you see that in Indy,” Stroud said.

Overall, Stroud believes that Jones is thriving in Indianapolis thanks to the team’s commitment to supporting him and helping him succeed. With a strong offensive line and talented playmakers around him, Jones has the tools he needs to continue his success in the NFL.
