Adaptable receiver best suited for a modern spread offense that prioritizes athletic wideouts capable of winning contested catches.
Year 1 as a rotational outside receiver, with the ceiling to develop into a reliable Z-receiver who excels in contested catch situations.
A traditional run-heavy offense that rarely throws outside the numbers or prioritizes precise route-running over physical traits.
Strong's combination of size, speed, and contested catch ability makes him a viable target in schemes that value physical receivers. But he struggles with creating separation against elite cornerbacks on route breaking concepts.
Selected #70 overall in Round 3 of the 2015 NFL Draft by Houston Texans out of Arizona State.
