NFL Trade Rumors
Bears HC Ben Johnson said RB D’Andre Swift isn’t happy with how the team performed last year and said that he’s hungry to turn the ship around.
“He has always been quiet,” Johnson said, via Marquee Sports Network. “He’s always been highly motivated on the inside. There’s a lot of things about him that are the same as what they’ve been. He’s not happy with how last year went for him. Production-wise, team-wise, everything-wise. He’s really motivated, he’s really excited to help lead and spur this team forward. I don’t think I see a whole lot of differences from where he’s been, but I see a very hungry individual.”
Swift said Johnson is a highly intelligent football mind and can’t wait to see the positions he puts him in to succeed.
“I can’t say enough how intelligent, smart he is as a play caller,” Swift said. “It’s about him just knowing his personnel and kinda just putting his guys in a position to succeed. And that’s all across the board. So, just excited to be a part of this team with him leading it.”
Johnson believes that the team has everything they need at running back in order to succeed.
“I know the perception out there is that maybe it’s not the most talented room in the world,” Johnson said. “They like to hear that noise. We’re going to be just fine.”
Lions S Brian Branch is hoping to step his game up after his partner S Kerby Joseph put the league on notice with his interception totals last season.
