All Lions: D'Andre Swift Over/Under Rushing Yards Set
Expectations are already starting to grow for rookie running back D'Andre Swift.
Surprisingly, Swift fell to the Detroit Lions in the second round (Pick No. 35) of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Many are expecting Swift to acclimate himself quickly to Darrell Bevell's offense and contribute right away.
According to BetOnline, the over/under rushing total for Swift’s rookie season has been set at 625 rushing yards.
Jeff Risdon of USA Today's Lions Wire explains, "That’s a figure that 10 rookie RBs have topped in the last two seasons, a group that includes 2018 Lions second-rounder, Kerryon Johnson. At 641 rushing yards in his rookie campaign, Johnson has the lowest total of the ten."
