Meet new Green Bay Packers running back and former USC Trojan MarShawn Lloyd as he describes his game as well as his off-the-field personality.
Packers Wire has more on the new running back in Green Bay:
“The last time the Packers used an early-round pick on a running back was when they took AJ Dillon in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft. Although circumstances were a bit different with the Packers already having Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams on the roster, Dillon had only 55 rushing attempts as a rookie.
“However, it doesn’t sound like that is the approach that the Packers are going to take with Lloyd:
“’I would like to get him out there as much as possible,’ said offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich. ‘He’s got a skill set that’s a little bit different than AJ’s as far as his speed. He’s not quite the bruiser that (Dillon) is obviously, but he’s got a different type of skill set. So it’ll be nice to get him the ball in space and just see what he can do. I think he’s gonna add a good explosive element to the offense, for sure.’”
