With the 35th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions selected Georgia running back D’Andre Swift, where he will team up with some fellow Bulldogs.
Swift will be joining former teammate and Lions’ tight end Isaac Nauta, along with legendary Georgia Bulldog and Lions’ franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford, selected 1st overall in 2009.
Former UGA defensive tackle John Atkins is also on the roster.
All Georgia Bulldog fans have been ecstatic to see these Dawgs get to work in Detroit, and that day has come.
It was not all four of them, but Stafford, Swift and Nauta were seen working out for the first time together this Friday.

Even though we didn’t get to see any practice reps with the three, it’s refreshing to see some Dawgs on the turf, especially these three together.
We’re expecting big things out of the Dawgs in Detroit come next season.
