PRO: Swain was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the sixth round (214th overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft. Over two seasons (2020-21) with Seattle, he caught 38 passes for 502 yards and six touchdowns in 33 games, including nine starts. As a second-year Seahawk, Swain caught 25 passes for 343 yards and four TDs, carried the ball five times for 32 yards and returned 22 punts for 189 yards. Exceptional in open space, six of his 25 catches in 2021 were for a gain of 20-plus yards, and he twice exceeded 40 yards. Of his 343 receiving yards, 206 were gained after the catch. The year before, 102 of his 159 receiving yards followed the catch. Swain played in four games during the 2022 NFL season, spent with the Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos. He spent time with the Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles in 2023 before signing with the Chicago Bears in 2024.

COLLEGE: Swain spent four collegiate seasons with the University of Florida Gators. In 47 games, he caught 68 passes for 996 yards and 15 touchdowns. Seven of those scores were registered during a senior year in which he caught 38 passes for 517 yards. Swain also reached the end zone as a punt returner, scoring on an 85-yarder against Colorado State as a junior in 2018. That scoring sprint tied Swain for the second-longest punt-return TD in school history.

FAST FACT: As a Seahawk, Swain caught five passes for 95 yards and one touchdown against the visiting Tennessee Titans on Sept. 19, 2021.
