Swansoon has an uphill battle to become relevant, but the opportunity could be there if all the pieces come together. He was undrafted out of Toledo where he had one year of strong numbers in his senior year. He did not get playing time before that because someone named Kareem Hunt was starting ahead of him. Hunt and Swanson are reported to be close friends, and Hunt is pimping Swanson as a potential great RB. The similarities do not end there. Take a look at the Pro Day measurables:
Swanson:
Height: 509
Weight: 208
40 Yrd Dash: 4.51
20 Yrd Dash: 2.70
10 Yrd Dash: 1.55225
Lb. Bench Reps: 24
Vertical Jump: 31 1/2
Broad Jump: 10'00"
20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.59
3-Cone Drill: 7.16
Hunt:
Height: 510
Weight: 216
40 Yrd Dash: 4.60
20 Yrd Dash: 2.66
10 Yrd Dash: 1.58225
Lb. Bench Reps: Did not test
Vertical Jump: Did not test
Broad Jump: Did not test
20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.53
3-Cone Drill: 7.22
Swanson's path to relevance is much harder than Hunt's last year due to draft capital, but the similarities are striking. It's worth stashing Swanson at the end of your bench in the late rounds. Lamar Miller and Alfred Blue have underwhelmed, and we have not yet seen Foreman since he sustained that awful Achilles injury. Hey, you never know.
