Who is Eagles RB D’Andre Swift’s father Darren, going viral on social media?

The Philadelphia Eagles advanced to a 3-0 start in the 2023 NFL regular season after clinching a 25-11 road victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football. Alongside wide receiver A.J. Brown, and center Jason Kelce, the Eagles’ star D’Andre Swift has also played a crucial role in paving the way for their win.

D’Andre Swift is continuing his mission of making fans spellbound as he displays his phenomenal athleticism in every game. However, besides him, another Swift family member has been catching the attention of the netizens lately, and he is none other than the running back’s father Darren Swift.

Meet D’Andre Swift’s father, Darren

While some NFL players’ family members are associated with sports background or coaching jobs, Swift’s father is somewhat different in that scenario. Darren addresses himself as a body transformation expert, and owns a local gym in North Philadelphia, named “Swift Fit”. On his Instagram page, the veteran has posted several clips boasting of his incredible physique while flexing his muscles in the gym.

Darren came into the public eye for the first time when his son headed for his NFL journey being drafted by the Detroit Lions. Besides being a fitness freak, senior Swift is also an eminent mentor. Alongside his own son, he has served as a source of motivation for young stars looking for success in college or professional sports.

D’Andre’s rich vein of form continues

On a day when the whole NFL world went into a frenzy discussing Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s dating rumor as the pop star appeared in the Kansas City Chiefs’ last match, D’Andre was the other Swift to earn heavy praise from the sports enthusiasts. The RB recorded his back-to-back game of over 100 rushing yards.

Though the performance of Jalen Hurts has been questioned by the fans, the team has already picked up a 3-0 record for the second straight season, thanks to Swift who paired up with Jason to create the Philly version of the Swift-Kelce duo on the field.

After landing on the Philadelphia roster via a trade with the Lions last offseason, D’Andre is carrying on the No.25 jersey incredibly. The Philly native was substantial in the Eagles’ 34-28 victory over the Minnesota Vikings by running 28 times for 175 yards and a touchdown. Even six-time Pro Bowler LeSean McCoy predicted him to get the rushing title this year.
