You watch tape on him and a few things jump out:
1) He is really, really shifty. He has every elusive skill set you can think of.
- juke moves - he sets them up really well, has quick feet and flexible hips, and is able to cycle through/chain juke moves without losing speed
- spin moves - again, has a really nice spin move and can work through solid contact without losing balance/falling
- jump cuts - not usual for guys with good jukes, but he has a dynamite jump cut
All that adds up to make him a back who can make chicken salad out of chicken shit
2) Hands. He's a pass-catcher. Swift is already a very polished receiving back. His shiftiness is really dangerous in the open field, especially on check downs.
3) Long speed - OK, it's not great. This isn't a twitched up 4.35 back.
4) Contact balance - it's solid. He's not an incredibly physical runner. He can break tackles, but it's more about his shiftiness than being able to bounce through arm tackles.
I think he would add a very dangerous dimension to Andy Reid's offense and give them a LOT of options for changing plays at the line (motioning him into the slot out of a two TE set and going empty if a team goes heavy against the run).
I have been a Dobbins guy, but Swift just fits so well.
If the Chiefs took Swift at 32 I wouldn't complain a bit.
