D’Andre Swift is accustomed to being part of a talented group of running backs.
At Georgia, he contributed early in his career while veterans and future NFL backs Nick Chubb and Sony Michel carried the load. When Swift moved into the lead role after Chubb and Michel departed, he shared a backfield with other playmakers — in 2019, it was Brian Herrien and Zamir White.
