Explosive FCS Standout Making NFL Waves After 2022 Draft
Pierre Strong Jr. is a dynamic running back who dominated at South Dakota State, finishing his college career with 4,527 rushing yards and 35 total touchdowns across three seasons (2018-2021). Known for exceptional vision in the end zone, quick lateral agility, and surprising versatility—he completed all eight pass attempts for 198 yards and five TDs—Strong brings explosive athleticism (4.37 40-time at 2022 Combine) to the professional level. Originally drafted by New England in Round 4 (2022), he's since played for multiple NFL teams including Cleveland and Green Bay. His main limitation: limited experience against top-tier competition and pass-blocking responsibilities, making him best suited as a complementary back rather than a three-down workhorse.
