D'Andre Swift reveals timeline for NFL Draft decision
After two offensive linemen announced their plans to leave Georgia for the NFL, RB D’Andre Swift made his own announcement on Tuesday about the NFL Draft.
“I have not made my decision yet… I will decide after the bowl game!!!,” Swift tweeted.
Georgia is set to play Baylor in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day.
Swift has been listed as a first-round pick by some NFL mock drafts. It would be difficult to see what Swift could accomplish individually by returning to Georgia.
He was named to the coaches’ all-SEC first team, and all-SEC second team by the Associated Press. Swift was one of four permanent team captains from the 2019 Georgia team, and co-winner of the Vince Dooley Offensive MVP, which was given at team’s post-season awards gala.
Swift was Georgia’s leading rusher with 1,216 yards on 195 carries, with seven TDs. In the Auburn game he became the fifth player in school history to have multiple 1,000-yard seasons and first since Nick Chubb (2014, 16-17).
Last year, he started five of 14 games and gained a team-high 1,049 yards on 163 carries, with 10 TDs, both career highs.
Entering the Sugar Bowl, Swift has 2,883 career yards, which is seventh on UGA’s all-time list. He has nine career games of at least 100 yards rushing.
Happy to see him playing in the bowl game. Hopefully the line can block for him.
Your passive aggressive $hit talking is really getting old
Your top two lineman aren’t playing, and two others have yet to make a decision. You’re a moron if you don’t see that as an issue. You may just be a bit too sensitive for this site. How’s that for passive aggressive?
LOL yeah princess…I’m the sensitive one.
And there you go. Nice try sport.
I highly doubt he plays in the bowl game. Banged up as he is, he’s still a lock as a top 50 pick.
Yeah he’s gone. He’ll be a 1st rounder unless his injury is more serious than they let on. One more year isn’t going to help him
UGADAWG78, I wouldn’t pay him any attention. He’s acting like a fan of a team who’s never been there before.
I doubt Swift plays, healthy or not. With the playoff it doesn’t really matter if you win a bowl game or not.
All the best teams will be playing with depleted rosters. I think it’s going to trend more and more toward playing your freshman and getting them ready for the next season over really putting winning the game first. Devalued bowl games is the price for having a playoff…
I am not sure why he would wait to make his decision- which is clearly to declare, if he is not planning on playing – even if just minimal time.
This was about the NFL. He said earlier he would play in bowl game.Who knows.
I hope so. One last hoorah for the Dawgs
At the beginning of the year, when Kirby was setting the expected size of the 2020 recruiting class (23-ish), it was probably assumed that Thomas, Swift, and Fromm would likely declare early. Thomas and Wilson have now declared and we’re still waiting to see what LeCounte, Kindley, and Cleveland decide, but I think all 3 can improve their draft status with a final year. I would be surprised if Fromm now leaves early and I can’t imagine what Swift would gain by coming back.
Managing the size of this 2020 class has got to be tricky for Kirby right now. Could stay at 23, could expand to 25. We’ll see.
I think Cleveland stays, LeCounte and Kindley go.
I also think Fromm still goes.
I cannot get a good read on Fromm. Why are you, @MattyJ, thinking he goes?
Sad about the academic disqualification for Cleveland

BAN WAGGINS These days
LSUSMC replied to an earlier post about me pulling for Jalen and OSu because I said Jalen beat us last year. Difference was Jalen lost job and watched all year as Tua took over and didn’t complain but when time to come in he delivered. Therefore I am pulling for Him and OU. I hope he can win one all his own.
