And so I think DeAndre is back for the rest of his contract.
I've been on a journey with DeAndre Swift.
When he was signed by the Bears.
You were a fantasy drafter of him, if I'm correct, right?
Yes?
I'll get to that, Dan.
Sorry.
There's a lot of steps along the way, okay?
It's like, you know those times like you go across a creek and you're going from stone to stone or stone?
That's my journey with DeAndre Swift.
Like, when the Bears signed him, I had remembered him being a bruising badass at times in Philly.
Sure.
Because that's what they asked him to do, and he was motivated to do it, and he did it well, so I was all about it.
And then his first year here, I was massively disappointed in the style of running and how many times he seemed to bounce it outside, how many times he seemed to just accept a couple of yards when maybe he could have gotten four or five.
And then I got excited about the way that Eric Bien-Ami and others were talking about him, and I did draft DeAndre Swift.
And then... Slow start.
Slow start, and I got disappointed again, and I caught him in my fantasy league.
And I talked about all of this, and Lawrence made fun of me relentlessly, because that's what he does.
And then he went to Washington on a Monday night.
And he exploded!
