GAME FILM
​#20 PIERRE STRONG JR VS NORTH DAKOTA ST (2021)

#20 PIERRE STRONG JR HIGHLIGHTS

Strengths

• He is a running back that has ideal size and lightning quickness.
• He has an excellent vision behind the line of scrimmage and runs at good angles away from the defenses.
• He is a one-cut back who slashes through the first crack of daylight with a quick burst of speed.
• He has unbelievable breakaway speed where he had tons of runs over 50-yard runs.
• He is very shifty, minimizes solid hits on him, and will run through arm tackles.
• He is a credible receiver who will make sizeable catches when needed.
• He scored off the chart at the NFL Combine and increased his stock.

Weaknesses

• He does have a good lower trunk to absorb hits and run through tackles.
• He will get lethargic at times, attempt to make abrupt cuts, and lose yards.
• He offers nothing as a pass protector and lacks an anchor to defend against bigger linebackers.
• The level of competition will be concerned about how he will translate to the speed at the next level.
• He lacked skill as a receiver and only recorded 22 receptions during the football season.

Draft Projection: 4th -5th Round

NFL Comparison: Raheem Mostert (Miami Dolphins)
