The University of Georgia has a history of placing tailbacks into the NFL.
D’Andre Swift aims to be the eleventh former Georgia tailback drafted in the past twenty years and is one of ten Bulldogs invited to this year’s NFL Scouting Combine.
Rival Florida is also well-represented with eight participants, but with only one running back, Lamical Perine. Georgia provides two in Swift and Brian Herrien.
Perine completed his drill in 4.65 seconds. Compare that to Swift’s 4.49 seconds.

Swift is one of a select group of Bulldogs to finish his collegiate career undefeated against the Gators in three or more games.
Despite forgoing his senior year, Swift has earned his fourth win over Florida.
