How many yards will Lions second-round rookie RB D’Andre Swift run for in his first season in Detroit? The early over/under projection from one sportsbook might be lower than you would expect.
At BetOnline, the bookmakers have set Swift’s total at 625 rushing yards.
That’s a figure that 10 rookie RBs have topped in the last two seasons, a group that includes 2018 Lions second-rounder, Kerryon Johnson. At 641 rushing yards in his rookie campaign, Johnson has the lowest total of the ten. He did accomplish that in just 10 games, however.
If you’re a believer in Swift and his potential, you can put your money where your mouth is. Fellow Georgia Bulldog RBs Sony Michel and Nick Chubb both topped the 625-yard mark as rookies in 2018 as part of shared backfields
