Watched more Pierre Strong. Convinced he's gonna be this year's Elijah Mitchell. Shanahan is absolutely going to draft him just to make me hate my life.

But man, what a player.

I literally felt that exact same vibe the first time I had a chance to dive in and watch him.

We could have an all-Dakota backfield next year with this guy.

Pierre is the capital of South Dakota and strong is not really a last name. It would be like having the name Boston Strong or Sacramento Strong. Sounds made up not sure about this guy.

I would never say this to his face but when Phoenix posts about a RB that RB normally ends up being a great pro.

Putting these Pierre Strong Jr clips on the timeline so you understand why Mike McDaniel is inevitably going to be obsessed with him. pic.twitter.com/geBENTYwwq

Pierre Strong Jr. is the exact type of backup runner the #Titans should be taking a look at in the draft. pic.twitter.com/cjrbXffx9m

A new leader among the RBs.@pierrestrongjr out of @GoJacksFB with a 4.39u.

Ya'll remember when McDainels was throwing his fists in the air after SF moved up for Sermon....Not sure how much I value his player evaluations

Come on, I think most of us thought Sermon was a good prospect even if we were surprised by us taking a RB at that spot no?

With two rooks last year I think we avoid RB this year maybe go with a vet to round out the RB room

Not really. At least not for this system where it's all about faster or shiftier RBs. And if Kyle wanted more of a power back, he doesn't fit that either. He's a very average all around RB. Most of us were confused by it.

A really good breakdown of why Strong Jr. would thrive in the Niners zone run scheme.

He has great ankles and has a nasty cut move that's similar to LaDanian Thomlinson's.

Probably the most natural fit for the 49ers scheme of any RB in this class

I think so too. Hope the Niners get him, even as early as the 3rd round, I'd hate for him to goto the Rams.

I'm only 10 seconds into this "Film Breakdown" video, and already I can envision Alex Gibbs absolutely ripping into Pierre Strong's ass for taking an unnecessary jab step as he presses the hole.

"That makes me absolutely sick" - probably Alex Gibbs in heaven

Riiight. He showed decisiveness, nibbleness, and good vision in finding the gap and exploding for a scoring run.
