Detroit Lions coaches confident in D’Andre Swift as a 3-down back

If there’s such a thing a SwiftCoin currency, you may want to invest in it now.

On Wednesday, a handful of coaches from the Detroit Lions’ new staff met with the media for the first time, and one main takeaway was the team’s strong faith in second-year running back D’Andre Swift.

Swift was already entering the offseason on a high note, as the young Georgia running back clearly looked the part late in his rookie season when he took over the bulk of the carries for Detroit. Now with a coaching staff that clearly values the running game, Swift could be poised for a big sophomore effort.
