The New England Patriots have reportedly signed another member of their 2022 draft class. According to a report by ESPN’s Field Yates, running back Pierre Strong Jr. has put his signature under a four-year, $4.37 million rookie contract.
Strong, 23, arrived in New England as 127th overall selection of this year’s draft. The fourth-round draft pick joined the organization off a productive five-year stint at South Dakota State University, that saw him appear in 48 games and register a combined 5,108 yards from scrimmage and 43 touchdowns.
In 2021, Strong produced his best season to date.
