NFL Rumors: MarShawn Lloyd Was Eyed by Cowboys, Giants Before Packers Drafted RB

Before being selected by the Green Bay Packers in the third round of the 2024 NFL draft, rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd reportedly was coveted by a pair of NFC East teams.

Per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Dallas Cowboys "had shown enough pre-draft love" to Lloyd that the former USC speedster "thought the Cowboys would be one of the possible teams to draft him." Also, the New York Giants "had [their] sights on" Lloyd "as a future lead back but didn't have a pick between Nos. 71 and 107." The Packers ended up selecting him at No.
