D'Andre Swift packed more value into his peak seasons than almost any running back in NFL history β a comet career that burned brightest when it mattered most. His KV-H peak of 72 is historically rare; while longevity was not his calling card, the impact of his best seasons is undeniable.
A high-end running back defined as much by excellent availability over their career as by their on-field impact (top 10% all-time). Coaches and teammates could count on them being available.
Worth 97 points of value above a freely-available replacement running back β top 26% of all 4,642 ranked at the position. 6 of 6 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +16.2 on average.See board β
