MarShawn Lloyd, a running back from USC, is generating buzz as one of the Packers’ third-round picks. Known for his statement claiming to be the best running back in the draft, Lloyd is determined to prove himself to the Packers and the rest of the league.
At the recent Packers’ rookie camp, Lloyd expressed his versatility and willingness to contribute in various roles, including special teams and catching passes. He understands the importance of being a multi-dimensional player, especially in today’s pass-first NFL. He views his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield as a valuable asset that can benefit both the team and his own career prospects.
Lloyd considers it a privilege to join the Packers, despite not initially expecting to be drafted by them. He is excited to be part of a young and talented offense and is optimistic about the team’s potential for success in the future. Reflecting on his former USC teammate Caleb Williams joining the Bears, Lloyd acknowledges the special bond they share, having been rivals and teammates at different stages of their football careers.
Following the draft, Lloyd received messages of support from Packers players A.J. Dillon and Jordan Love, welcoming him to the team. With a strong work ethic and a positive outlook, Lloyd is eager to contribute to the Packers and help them achieve their goals, including a potential run at the Super Bowl.
