Normally by this point in the offseason, we’d have a fair amount of rookie hype. Rookie minicamp and face-to-face interviews would introduce fans to their team’s draft class, building excitement for the team’s newest and youngest players.

Thankfully, the fellas over at The Athletic have been slowly going through the tape of all the Lions’ draft picks and journaling their thoughts as they go. Their latest—courtesy of Chris Burke and Nick Baumgardner—breaks down the film of Georgia running back D’Andre Swift, the Lions’ second-round pick.
