Detroit Lions rookie running back D’Andre Swift has a new mentor: quarterback and fellow former Georgia Bulldog Matthew Stafford.
Like a lot of rookies, Swift likes to pepper his mentor with questions. He just has one rule about bothering Stafford too late.
“I don’t text him at 10 o’clock,” he said Tuesday. “I’m studying by myself in the bed. But he’s been great.”
It sounds like Stafford has been more than great. The 11-year pro has opened his arms and home to Swift since the Lions selected him in the second round of the NFL draft in April.
