The Detroit Lions added another player to their SEC-heavy backfield Friday in the 2020 NFL Draft, selecting D'Andre Swift out of Georgia with the No. 35 overall pick.
Swift joins Kerryon Johnson from Auburn and Bo Scarbrough from Alabama as the likely top options in the Lions' run game.
"It's amazing," Swift said. "It speaks volumes to the conference. I think some of the best players come from the SEC. It's one of the higher conferences in college football. Just to have an all-SEC backfield, it's just a blessing."
Swift's arrival in Detroit could alter how the Lions end up using their backs.
