D’Andre Swift Reacts to Detroit Lions-Eagles Trade
To many, the D’Andre Swift trade to from the Detroit Lions to the Philadelphia Eagles was not a surprise. For one, the Lions said farewell to running back Jamaal Williams and added David Montgomery in free agency. Then, they drafted Jahmyr Gibbs 12th overall in last week’s draft. Add to that he much he’s been injured, and it seemed like a probably move that Detroit would trade him.
But, one guy was surprised by the trade, and that was D’Andre Swift.
D’Andre Swift Reaction
During Swift’s introductory press conference with Eagles this week, he sent out a warm thanks to everyone in Detroit for supporting him there. When asked about the trade, he said, “It was a surprise. There really was no explanation. Everything went through my agent. A lot of different emotions going up and down.”
He may not have been as uber-surprised as he claims, but it does sound like Swift didn’t think getting traded was a sure thing. Now, he’s with him hometown, so that’s nice. Oh, and there’s the fact the Eagles were at the Super Bowl last season, so he could quickly be on the biggest stage in the NFL. What do you think? Reach out to us on social media and let us know.
