Georgia players, coaches react as D’Andre Swift goes #35 to Lions

Reactions from Georgia football players and coaches as RB D’Andre Swift goes #35 to the Detroit Lions in the 2020 NFL Draft.

On Friday night, D’Andre Swift was selected with 35th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

It may have come a day late, but Swift is now an NFL running back.

Twitter erupted when Swift, regarded as the class’ top running back prospect, heard his name called. And rightfully so – Swift is a hard worker, a competitor and a fighter. He plays with a chip on his shoulder, and that chip got even bigger when he did not get drafted in the first round.

Some former Dawgs also jumped on to Twitter to express excitement over Swift becoming a Detroit Lion.

Here are a few reactions from some Georgia Bulldogs from Friday night:

Not a Georgia player, but his new teammate Jeff Okudah out of Ohio State, who the Lions at #3 last night.
