D’Andre Swift is the latest in a long line of running backs touted to deliver the Detroit Lions to the Promised Land.

Who was the last running back to post a 1,000-yard rushing season for the Detroit Lions? Any Lions’ fan can tell you it was Reggie Bush back in 2013. Why? Because the team’s lackluster rushing attack has often been the scapegoat as to why this team hasn’t been more successful.

Every running back that wears Honolulu blue and silver is always compared to a single player.
