Kenny McIntosh is aware of the comparison his running backs coach had for him. He knows Dell McGee mentioned the name D’Andre Swift when talking about the senior running back.

Swift is easily one of the best running backs to play under McGee and Kirby Smart. He’s the last 1,000-yard rusher for the Georgia program and is currently starring for the Detroit Lions.

“He can do everything. He can run inside tackles, he can run outside tackles, he’s really good on the perimeter,’ McGee said of McIntosh earlier this fall. “He has really, really good hands. Probably some of the best hands since D’Andre (Swift). He’s good at running routes, he’s a blitz pickup on third down, so he’s definitely a complete back.”
