Travis Swanson is playing well as a Dolphin.
The Lions? former starting center has found some stability in Miami.
The Detroit Lions will head down to Miami this week to face a Dolphins team with some familiar faces. Akeem Spence, whom the Lions traded away earlier this offseason, will be down there waiting, as will be reserve interior offensive lineman Wesley Johnson.

But perhaps the biggest former Lions player on the Dolphins now is center Travis Swanson. A four-year starter with the Lions, Swanson was not retained by the Lions this offseason, and after a stint with the Jets, the Dolphins swooped him up in September as a backup.

However, Miami?s starting center Daniel Kilgore left Week 4?s game against the Patriots with an injury and the starting job has been Swanson?s ever since. In the two-and-a-half games Swanson has played at center, he?s done pretty darn well:
According to PFF Travis Swanson is the 11th ranked Center in the NFL after Week 6 with an overall grade of 71.6. 73.3 overall in Pass Protection and 68.8 overall in Run Blocking. Very impressive against the two of the toughest defensive fronts Miami has played so far this year.

Swanson had an up-and-down career in Detroit, but he was never considered a horrible player, so it doesn?t come as much surprise that he?s doing well in Miami. Detroit will have an up-and-close look at him on Sunday, as Kilgore was placed on IR earlier this month.

Turns out adding LeGarrette Blount, using a first-round pick on an offensive lineman, and changing your offensive line coach may actually do some good.
The #Lions are the No. 1 power running team in the NFL, according to Football Outsiders -- 100% success in power situations. They were dead last for most of last season.
