From the article

I was wrong about D'Andre Swift. I said he was a supercharged RB2 or a decent lead in a committee but he wasn't a guy who could dominate in the run game. While that was the book on Swift before he landed in Chicago – and a fair representation of his work in 2024 – he's been a much improved back under the Ben Johnson regime. It's not often you see this type of growth this deep into a player's career.

Positive signalRole

Swift has become a much improved back under Ben Johnson's coaching regime.

The source corrected a prior assessment of D'Andre Swift, noting he has become a much improved back under Ben Johnson's coaching regime in Chicago. While Swift's pre-Chicago profile was accurately described as a supercharged RB2 or committee back without dominant run-game upside, his performance in 2026 under Johnson represents significant growth deep into his career. The source credits both Swift's adaptation and Johnson's system for this transformation.
