How Lions RB D’Andre Swift could win Offensive Rookie of the Year

The Detroit Lions made a surprise decision in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft, when they selected Georgia running back D’Andre Swift, adding the SEC star to their already talented stable of running backs.

While Detroit already has a few great players at the position, Swift will likely step in and be an instant contributor. He will probably be one of the team’s top offensive weapons and will feature heavily in both the running and the passing game.

Swift may not be a first-round pick, but he is still a big-name rookie with the potential to have a stand-out rookie year.
