The Browns traded for running back Pierre Strong Jr. on Sunday.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski cited Strong’s versatility and claimed he was the kind of player you study from afar.
Speaking of versatility, Strong displayed that during his four seasons at South Dakota State. The former Walton Payton Award finalist was named a first-team FCS All-American his senior year, after leading the FCS in rushing yards and ranking second in rushing touchdowns . But the only area of his college resume which lacks is his experience in the return game. He only returned five kickoffs for 127 yards . This is important because he’s coming in as the Browns’ RB3 and outside of injuries, he won’t find many carries behind Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford.
“That’s certainly something that he can do, and so that helps us as you look forward into these next couple of weeks,” Stefanski said. “But we’ll see how Jerome comes out of the next few days.”“We prayed about it. They’ll come up and help me move. There’s really nothing we can really do about it, but I’m glad to be here,” Strong said. “I’m happy to be here. So at the end of the day, my parents are rocking with me. They Browns fans now.
