Freddie Swain Bio
Freddie Swain is an American football wide receiver from Ocala, Florida, who played college football at the University of Florida. Listed at 6 feet tall, he developed as a versatile pass catcher and return specialist. Florida credits him with a productive four-year career and highlights his ability to contribute in the return game, including an 85-yard punt-return touchdown in 2018. His collegiate profile also included experience from the slot and an emphasis on open-field ability.
The Seattle Seahawks selected Swain in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft with the 214th overall pick. Seattle viewed him primarily as a slot receiver who could also help on special teams, while the club described his speed, competitiveness and return ability as important parts of his prospect profile. He spent the 2020 and 2021 seasons with Seattle before later brief affiliations with the Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins.
Swain signed with the Chicago Bears on May 13, 2024, was placed on reserve/injured on August 21, 2024, and had his contract terminated on August 23, 2024. As of September 21, 2026, his latest verified professional affiliation is with the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders, who signed him on February 10, 2026. He should therefore not be described as a current NFL free agent without noting that later CFL move.
