National reaction to RB D’Andre Swift heading home after being traded to the Eagles

D’Andre Swift is coming home, as the former St. Joseph’s Prep and Georgia Bulldogs star has been traded from Detroit to Philadelphia for multiple picks.

Swift is entering the final year of his rookie deal and will compete with Rashaad Penny, Kenneth Gainwell, Boston Scott, and Trey Sermon for carries.

Philadelphia has shored up every offseason need and will now add depth and competition to the roster for training camp.

With the NFL draft now in Round 5, here’s the national reaction to the trade.

Georgia is definitely on Howie Roseman’s mind.

Howie has to make sure the talent transitions to NFL productions, but it’s a good start toward continuing a tradition of winning with players expecting to win.
