Draft Scout Brett Swain News

12/05/07 - 2007 All-Mountain West Conference Second Team: WR Brett Swain was San Diego State's leading receiver each of the past two seasons. As a senior, he capped his stay on The Mesa with a career-best 58 receptions for 973 yards and five touchdowns. Swain is second in the Mountain West and 31st nationally in receiving yards per game (81.1), including a pair of 100-yard receiving efforts. He set career bests with 224 yards and three touchdowns on just six catches in the team's win over Portland State on Sept. 22. Swain averaged 14 yards per reception in 44 career games and finished his stay at SDSU with 135 career receptions for 1,893 yards and eight TDs. He caught at least one pass in each of his final 26 games and had four or more in 18 of his last 24 contests. - San Diego State Sports

12/01/07 - PLAYERS TO WATCH: WR Brett Swain was making all the downfield plays early in the season when fellow WR Chaz Schilens was sidelined with a foot injury. If the Cougars key too much on Schilens, Swain is more than capable of hurting them as well.

11/27/07 - LOOKING GOOD: WR Brett Swain finished with his best performance in weeks five catches for 90 yards and a TD. He caught a 45-yard pass to the TCU 3-yard line that led to SDSU's second TD of the game. He and Chaz Schilens give the Aztecs hope that they can at least engage in a shooting match next week with BYU.

He could've went to GB... better than some WR from SDSU...

Im not a big Rodgers fan so I hope these 2 new guys show something special. Starting week 1 and destroying your vikings will be a great start for whoever it is.

Tom Silverstein in the Journal Sentinel saw the Swain pick as a possibility last week:
WR Brett Swain, San Diego State, 6-0, 200, 4.63 - Slot receiver type who caught 58 passes for 973 yards (16.8) and five TDs for pass-happy Aztecs. Doesn't have blinding speed but has some quickness.

Didn't Rush Limbaugh call Detroit "New Fallujah" ?

I don't think thats a particularly funny or appropriate joke.

You are going to be a disappointed mother when Favre's celebration gets torched by the Vikes.


Cue the damn Horn!

Swain played safety in high school.

[Fosco33]

Brett... at least we'll have one guy in camp with that first name.

[Rastak]

That's it, I'm all "Bio'd" out. Hundreds of cut and pastes is all I'm up to.

SI.com also notice Swain before the draft:
Brett Swain, WR, San Diego State: He flew under the radar for most of the year but has caught the interests of a few teams lately. He averaged 16.8 yards on 58 receptions last season as SDSU's leading receiver. His toughness, smarts and hands could help him develop into a productive third or fourth receiver in the NFL.

I heard he led the league in hang time as a punter in his local Pee Wee league in middle school.

I will post the Pack's picks if I'm still here.
