Devin Bush, who we saw rock the green and blue on our own Lumen Field turf for a season, just dropped some serious praise for Chicago Bears running back D’Andre Swift. This isn’t just some casual shout-out either; Bush, a former top-10 NFL Draft pick who’s clearly finding his stride again, was “really impressed” by what he saw from Swift during training camp. You know what that means: when a guy like Bush, fresh off a monster comeback year, says something like that, you sit up and listen.
The Devin Bush Redemption Arc We Saw Here (Kinda)
Let’s be real, Bush has been on a journey. Remember when he burst onto the scene with the Steelers? A top-10 pick, tearing it up, finishing No. 3 in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting. That’s the kind of talent you can’t fake. But then, things got quiet for a few years. After Pittsburgh, he had that one season right here in Seattle, then a couple with the Browns. It felt like that explosive rookie form was a distant memory. But man, did he turn it around *last year*. This dude came back with a vengeance: three interceptions, with two of them going all the way for touchdowns, plus a career-high 125 total tackles. That’s not just good, that’s “get paid” good, which is exactly what he did. Chicago saw that comeback, dropped Tremaine Edmunds, and swooped in, giving Bush a three-year, $30 million deal with $21 million guaranteed. That’s big money, and it tells you they believe in that resurfaced talent.
What Bush Is Seeing in D’Andre Swift
So, Bush is back, he’s got that fire, and he’s practicing against his new teammates. And what’s catching his eye? D’Andre Swift. Bush has been going head-to-head with Swift in practice, getting a firsthand look at what the running back brings to the table. For a linebacker who just put up those kind of numbers last year, someone who’s seen a lot of top-tier talent in his career, to be “really impressed” with Swift, that’s saying something. It’s not just a casual compliment; it’s a veteran, who’s finally found his peak performance again, recognizing another player’s elite potential. It makes you wonder what Swift is doing out there to earn that kind of respect from a guy like Bush.
It’s still early September, but these kinds of insights from players like Devin Bush can set the tone. If Swift is looking that good against a revitalized defender, other teams better be taking notes. Keep an eye on what D’Andre Swift does once the games really start to count, because if Bush’s praise is any indication, it could be a wild ride.
