RB Pierre Strong Jr. admits to being surprised by Patriots trade

Former New England Patriots running back Pierre Strong Jr was traded to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr. in an effort to bolster offensive line depth.

In a recent interview, the second-year running back opened up about the trade.

“Nah, it was kind of a surprise,” Strong said, when speaking to the Akron Beacon Journal’s Chris Easterling. “Came to work every day, but like I said, it was like a business thing. I got called to the front office and the rest is history, I’m here now.
