"He's an explosive athlete. There's a number of things that he can do both in the running game and in the passing game. I do think he can help ignite an offense because he's got that playmaking ability, so it'll be fun to start to work together again here this springtime with him."
"The 2025 NFL season will always be a memorable one for D'Andre Swift, who set new career highs in rushing yards (1,087), rushing scores (9), and scrimmage yards (1,386). Swift's 5.4 yards per touch last year represented his best showing in that category since posting an average of 6.3 yards per touch in 2022. And while his 4.9 yards per carry weren't a career best, it marks his second best showing as a pro."
"Even the advanced analytics were digging D'Andre Swift. He had 30 runs of 10+ yards, which were the seventh-most in the league. His 87.0 PFF run grade was the sixth-best among NFL running backs. Jonathan Taylor, Bijan Robinson, Josh Jacobs, and Jahmyr Gibbs were among the backs who Swift graded out better than in this category. Those are some productive, high-profile names that Swift ranks ahead of on the grade scale. No wonder"
D'Andre Swift entered the 2025 season facing doubts after a disappointing 2024 and offseason speculation that Chicago sought a new running back. Bears head coach Ben Johnson praised Swift as an explosive athlete with playmaking ability capable of igniting the offense. Swift set career highs with 1,087 rushing yards, nine rushing touchdowns, and 1,386 scrimmage yards. He averaged 5.4 yards per touch, his best since 2022, and 4.9 yards per carry, his second-best as a pro. Advanced metrics included 30 runs of 10+ yards (seventh-most) and an 87.0 PFF run grade, sixth-best among NFL running backs.
