D’Andre Swift is now a Detroit Lion, hearing his name called with the 35th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Swift finished his collegiate career ranking seventh in Georgia history with 2,885 rushing yards.
When Swift committed to Georgia in September of 2016 (in epic fashion), he did so as a 5-star running back out of Philadelphia who ranked as the No. 4 ball carrier in the country.
He knew he was about to join a crowded running back room, with Sony Michel, Nick Chubb and Elijah Holyfield all on the roster.
In 2017, Swift burst onto the scene. In a backfield that included two future NFL stars, the freshman still took 81 handoffs for 618 yards as he helped the Bulldogs to the national championship game.
When Michel and Chubb left Athens for the NFL, it was Swift’s turn. Paired with Holyfield, the two formed a deadly duo and rushed for 2,067 yards, with both topping the 1,000 marker.
With Michel and Chub gone, Swift began to show Georgia fans a crazy blend of finesse, speed and power. In 2019, he ran for 1,218 yards and caught 24 passes for 216 yards. He had eight total touchdowns last year.
The sky is the limit for Swift. Lions, you have one job — don’t mess it up.
