The Detroit Lions found themselves a gem in the second round of the 2020 draft
When the Detroit Lions‘ number was called in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, they discovered an unexpected surprise. With the 35th overall selection, the Lions found Georgia running back D’Andre Swift was still on the board. And they pulled the trigger.
Only two years prior the Lions used their second-round pick on another running back, Kerryon Johnson out of Auburn. Despite showing flashes of potential, Johnson struggled with injuries in his first two seasons, missing a total of 14 games in that span.
