Bottom Line
Strong is a possession and red-zone type of receiver that can catch the ball in traffic without problems. You can work the middle of the field with him too, and he’s not afraid to get hit by linebackers. But please don’t get it twisted, he’s not an absolute blazer but with his route running, he can get deep on you.
Put that together with the surest hands coming out in this draft and you get production for years to come if you pick him. The mid-to late first round is right around the area in the draft that he’s likely to go in. Look out because the Kansas City Chiefs are there and they didn’t throw a touchdown to a receiver this past season.
