He Provides Instant Playmaking Ability

Another major need for the Lions over the last few years has been finding more playmaking on the offensive side of the football.

Let’s talk about Kerryon Johnson one more time. He is the kind of running back that can pick up a solid 80 yards each game. However, he isn’t going to do it by being a threat to break off a big play any time he touches the football.

Swift, however, can provide that for Detroit. He is fast, has the ability to make defenders miss in the open field, and doesn’t go down easily. The Lions found themselves another playmaker by drafting Swift.

Fans are going to love what they see from the rookie running back in 2020. He will be extremely important for the Lions’ offense and will have a major impact on their playoff aspirations.
