Now, after just one year together, the offensive duo has been split apart, with Detroit reportedly set to trade Stafford to the at the official start of the 2021 offseason. Swift, who figures to return with an even bigger role as Detroit's top running back Troy Tulowitzki Jersey , is confident his ex-teammate will thrive on the West Coast, telling CBS Sports on Wednesday that Los Angeles is getting a "warrior.""I think L.A. is getting a great leader," says Swift, who's working with Panini America to finish signing his 2020 rookie cards. "A great person, first and foremost. He's a warrior, a competitor. I think he's gonna be great for them."As for his Lions? The 22-year-old Swift says he's excited to work with , the Rams' former No. 1 pick who's set to come to Detroit as part of the Stafford deal.

(He also quietly enjoyed seeing himself in a Lions uniform on those Panini cards, saying he got into trading cards during his college days.) But he's intent on upping his fitne s regimen ahead of his second season, admitting his rookie year had more physical demands than he expected."One thing I did learn is you gotta do extra," he says.
