D'Andre Swift Looks Bigger This Offseason
2 years agoDetroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift looks to have bulked up this offseason. Swift's goal this offseason was to add more muscle in order to take some of the big hits that kept him out of four games in his rookie season with a sprained shoulder. The 23-year-old has the skills to be Detroit's featured back, but Jamaal Williams, Craig Reynolds, Greg Bell and Jermar Jefferson will be fighting to steal touches away. In 13 games in 2021, Swift had 213 touches and finished with 1,059 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns. Other than a 33-carry game against the Steelers, Swift never saw 15 carries in a single game, although he proved plenty valuable for his pass-catching skills. With added offensive weapons in receivers Jameson Williams, D.J. Chark Jr. and Josh Reynolds, Swift could see fewer targets in the passing game.
