21 days until kickoff, and Jaelen Strong left a massive impact on Sun Devil football

Yesterday's edition of our countdown series turned back the clocks to look at arguably the greatest running back in Arizona State history in Woody Green. Today, with 21 days remaining until the season kicks off, we're looking at perhaps the best Sun Devil receiver of all time, Jaelen Strong.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Strong was a track star who also put up some blazing numbers on the football field. He didn't gain much recruiting traction, though, and opted to play Pierce Community College in Los Angeles.

There, Strong continued playing both football and track, the latter of which saw him post personal bests in both the long jump and triple jump.
