Dan Campbell envisions Saints-like production for Detroit Lions RBs Swift, Williams

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell shed more light on his team's emerging running back tandem Friday, saying he envisions D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams being a 1-2 punch, similiar to Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram were for the New Orleans Saints years ago.

"That’s my vision of this 1-2 punch," Campbell said. "That’s how I see Jamaal Williams for us, for Detroit. He’s high energy, he’s a bit of a hammer and I think he’s a guy your team can feed off of a little bit. I said that when we signed him. That was always what Mark was for (the Saints) and Latavius Murray when Mark left us.
