2 Dawgs in same NFL backfield? D'Andre Swift would be 'happy' if Todd Gurley joined the Lions

Georgia fans often talk about how cool it would be to have two former Bulldog running backs in the same NFL backfield sharing carries.

And that may soon be a reality. Former UGA running back Todd Gurley met with the Detroit Lions last week, per ESPN, where fellow Georgia product D’Andre Swift currently acts as the No. 1 back. He left without a contract, but there’s some serious buzz about that visit.

Swift said he’d ‘be happy’ to have a fellow former Dawg split carries with him in Detroit.

“Knowledge. Experience,” Swift replied when asked how he would benefit from the Lions potentially signing Gurley, per LionsWire.
