The enter the 2022 season with a solid amount of depth in the running backs room.Led by the duo of and , the room also features last year’s preseason darling in .Reynolds, an undrafted free agent out of Pennsylvania-based Kutztown University, emerged on to the scene toward the end of last season. He logged snaps in five games, making his Lions debut in Week 14 against the Denver Broncos.He put together a 11-carry, 83-yard performance on the ground against the Broncos, and then followed that up by rushing for over 100 yards (112) a week later vs. the Arizona Cardinals.Then, this preseason, Reynolds continued to show that he belonged on the Vin Baker Jersey Lions’ 53-man roster to open the season.The 26-year-old put together a solid showing in Detroit’s three exhibition contests, rushing for 81 yards on 16 carries. It was good for an average of 5.1 yards per carry.Lions running backs coach took notice of performance throughout camp, and is excited by the depth he has at running back to kick off the 2022 campaign.Its good,” Staley told reporters Friday, in reference to the organization’s depth at running back. “Its good Chris Copeland Jersey , just thinking back to last year, of course, it was good also. Got a lot of good backs, got a lot of guys that can do different things. And, just looking back, you see Craig (Reynolds) once again and the things he was able to do coming into camp. Im super excited about the whole group.At the top of the running backs depth chart, features two capable pa s-catchers in and .Swift, for one, stated earlier this summer that he would like to accumulate both 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards this season.Swift, a second-round draft pick of the Lions in 2020, is a dynamic weapon, and Staley is looking forward to unleashing him going into Sunday’s matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.”Oh, hes ready. Even last year, he was ready. He was able to fight through a lot of things. Hed be the Rashad Vaughn Jersey first to tell you,” Staley expre sed. “I just think right now, where he is physically and mentally. Of course, this is my second year with him. I wasnt here when he was drafted. I just think hes ready to go, man. Hes ready to unleash and let it go, and Im excited just to be a part of it.The third-year pro accumulated 617 yards and five touchdowns on the ground, and another 452 yards and two TDs as a receiver out of the backfield in 2021. It equated to a 1,069-yard, seven-touchdown campaign for the dual-threat back.Staley views Swift as a big-time weapon in both the run and pa s game.”Usually when you think of a guy like that (a versatile back), you only think third down, but not with Swift,” Staley said. “Man, you can put him out there first down. Hopefully, he gets matched up with a few backers and even on Spencer Hawes Jersey third down, when he started the drop to safety, he can take advantage of that, too. gets his first chance to prove his versatility Sunday vs. the Eagles.Last year, Swift & Co. experienced a beatdown at the hands of Philadelphia. The Eagles crushed the , 44-6, in a Ray Allen Jersey Week 8 contest at Ford Field. , a former Eagles running back and the one-time a sistant head coach to former Philadelphia head man Doug Pederson, would like to avenge the blowout lo s.”Last year is last year. Of course, this is the first game, we want to come out and just start the season with a bang. And, of course, it would be real good to go out there and smack them in the mouth a little bit,” said.
