The Bears liked D’Andre Swift’s versatility when they signed the former Lions and Eagles running back in free agency. He’s looking forward to showing just how versatile he is.

Swift’s role as a receiving outlet figures to be a factor with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams getting acclimated to facing NFL defenses. Not just as a checkdown, but as a weapon who can make big plays downfield in Shane Waldron’s offense.

“I feel like I’ll be very valuable in that aspect, especially helping Caleb when stuff isn’t open down the field,” Swift said.
