Acme Packing Company on Pierre Strong Jr.
From the article
I actually like Strong better than Marshawn Lloyd as both represent the potential 'lightning' to Josh Jacobs' thunder, and while Lloyd is quite a bit larger, Strong is the better athlete, and despite his small size, he's been more durable.
STACKED’s take
Strong's elite athleticism and durability make him the preferred backup to Jacobs over Marshawn Lloyd.
Strong was drafted by New England in the fourth round of 2022 after an elite final season at South Dakota State (240 carries, 1686 yards, 18 TDs). Traded to Cleveland after his rookie year, he increased workload from 10 to 63 carries, serving as a passing-downs specialist while averaging 4.5 yards per carry and 8 yards per reception. The source prefers Strong over Marshawn Lloyd as the potential 'lightning' to Josh Jacobs' 'thunder,' citing Strong as the better athlete despite his smaller size and noting he has been more durable than Lloyd. In preseason action against Denver, Strong averaged 4.6 yards per carry on eight carries and returned a kickoff 68 yards, demonstrating elite agility and big-play ability.
