Georgia RB Kenny McIntosh shares D'Andre Swift's impact on his game

Georgia Bulldogs running back Kenny McIntosh has had an impressive start to his 2022 campaign. And his hot start has not gone unnoticed by former Bulldog D’Andre Swift. Before heading into Sunday’s game, Swift total reporters that he’s excited to see what McIntosh does in Georgia’s next game. Those words from his former position upperclassmen resonated well with the current Bulldogs star. As the Bulldogs prepare for their week four matchup against Missouri, McIntosh explains the role Swift played in the expansion of his game on the field.

“It means a lot. Like you said, he’s been doing well in the league,” said McIntosh. “For someone like that to mention that about me, it means a lot. I played with him for a year, and I learned a little stuff from him, being able to play with him. So, just being able to play with him taught me little things on how to run a ball and how to make different types of cuts and making stuff like that. I thank God for that. That’s a blessing; that’s how I look at it.”

McIntosh has had the share the load with fellow running backs Kendall Milton and Daijun Edwards but has made the most of his opportunities. On the year, the senior has carried the ball 25 times for 97 yards and has two rushing touchdowns. His most significant contribution has been in the passing game. McIntosh has a team-high 21 receptions for 227 yards. With his dual-threat ability, McIntosh could find himself playing on Sundays in a similar role to Swift on the Detroit Lions. An excellent receiver out of the backfield who can also run between the hashes.
