USC RB MarShawn Lloyd drafted in third round by Green Bay Packers

MarShawn Lloyd spent just one season at USC after a transfer from South Carolina, but he made a major impression as one of the consistent highlights in an overall disappointing season for the Trojans.

And USC fans weren't the only ones taking notice of Lloyd's combination of speed and power, as the Green Bay Packers selected him in the third round of the NFL draft with the 88th overall pick Friday.

Lloyd was the fourth running back taken overall following Texas' Jonathon Brooks (second round, Carolina Panthers), Florida State's Trey Benson (third round, Arizona Cardinals) and Michigan's Blake Corum (third round, Los Angeles Rams).
