'I’m going to make a big impact. I want to be a Hall of Famer one day.' pierrestrongjr chatted w/ TDN about how he developed his running style, his skills as a pass-catcher, how he plans to shed 'small school' label, and more. FrontOffice33 | NFLDraft
South Dakota State's Pierre Strong Jr. is one of the most exciting running backs available in the 2022 NFL Draft. An excellent athlete with blazing straight-line speed, Strong is a threat to score every time he receives the ball in space.
PSJR: I feel like I put in the work before the season even started. When the season finally arrived, the work and preparation I had been putting in revealed itself. I feel like I had a great season. As a running back, you have to maintain some patience and read things slowly. You have to read and analyze the flow of the offensive line, defensive line, and linebackers. The cutbacks are there when you have great vision like I do. They’re for the taking. I’ll start one way and cut back the other way. That perfectly describes my running style.
JM: You look smooth catching the ball on tape. You’re a dangerous home run hitter so I have to ask, what do you prefer, a 75-yard touchdown run, or touching the ball six or more times on a long scoring drive? I worked so hard. I won’t pat myself on the back though because the job’s not done yet. I’m still grinding and working out to this day. I do feel like I did an amazing job at the combine.
I’ve interviewed and spoken with so many teams. I have a few more coming up. Things really started picking up after the combine. Everything is beautiful right now. I can see myself mirroring my skill set after guys of that nature. I want to catch the ball and block in the backfield. I want to be so impactful as a pass-catcher that my team sets up routes for me.
