Georgia football running back D’Andre Swift is considered by many to be the top ball carrier in this week’s NFL Draft.
There are some, though, who give that nod to Ohio State’s J.K. Dobbins or Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor, but for the most part Swift is receiving a majority of the love.
During an NFL Draft teleconference, ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit discussed the debate regarding whether or not Swift is the top running back prospect.
Based on his comments, it looks like Herbstreit has the Philadelphia native and Georgia junior as his number one back.
“I think he’s a three-down guy, which is what the NFL is always looking for,” Herbstreit said. “Can he run between the tackles? Can he catch the ball on the perimeter and make people miss? I think those of us who have followed his career know he can be that type of guy. He’s not necessarily a blazer, but he’s incredibly quick and can catch the ball. I think he’s the total package, and I’m interested in seeing where he goes and how he fits in as well.”
Herbstreit also discussed Jake Fromm, saying that the signal caller is not getting nearly enough love as we get closer and closer to the draft.
