Duce might’ve hinted but that was before any actual injuries and the lions valued swift and may not have traded him had he not asked to be
I aint saying Swift aint soft, but he actually played more games than most of the other Lions RB’s we drafted. Leshoure, Best. Jones, Kerryon, Kevin Smith, Ameer - The list just goes on and on.
