The Green Bay Packers used a third-round pick on productive USC running back Marshawn Lloyd.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – When the Green Bay Packers selected USC running back MarShawn Lloyd in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft on Friday night, NFL Network draft expert Daniel Jeremiah proclaimed the Packers had just picked the best back in the draft.“I’m the best running back in the draft, for sure, and I think Green Bay got the best running back in the draft because they think the exact same,” Lloyd said during his Zoom call. “I’m super-confident with that.
“Very comfortable in the passing game,” he said. “I feel like coach Lincoln Riley put me in really good positions. I had something like 17-plus yards a reception. I’m just being utilized in it as much as possible. I played with a team that had really good skills on the outside, a really good quarterback.”
Where there are no doubts about Lloyd is his ability to take the rock and get into the open field either by using speed or power. At 5-foot-8 3/4 and 220 pounds, he’s short but not small. His 4.46 speed in the 40 gives him breakaway ability.
