Even in limited role, Detroit Lions RB D'Andre Swift is 'exactly what we thought we were getting'

Kyle Caskey swears it’s coming, and when it does, he doesn’t want you to be surprised.

Rookie running back D’Andre Swift played just six of a possible 67 offensive snaps in the Detroit Lions’ 26-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals last week.

That’s hardly the impact the Lions expected when they took Swift with the 35th pick of April’s draft, but Caskey, the team’s running backs coach, said Swift’s limited early season role should not be misconstrued.

“My impression of him has been nothing but exactly what we thought we were getting,” Caskey said.
