A 6’5″, 317\u00a0lbs. defensive tackle, Swann never attended college and was drafted from a semi-professional football team called the Bay State Titans located in Lynn, Massachusetts. He played in ten NFL seasons from 1991 to 2000 for the Cardinals and the Carolina Panthers.High school[edit]Swann played high school football at Western Harnett High School in Lillington, North Carolina, and graduated in 1989.[1] During his high school years, he was state runner-up in shot-put and discus throwing, recording distances of 54′ 02″ and 152′ 06″, respectively.[2]Semi-pro career[edit]Swann was bound for North Carolina State University, but was ruled academically ineligible. Rather than enrolling as a Proposition 48[3] In 1990, he left Wake Technical to join the semi-pro Bay State Titans in Lynn, Massachusetts with a $5 an hour salary.[4][5]Professional career[edit]On April 24, 1991, Swann signed a five-year contract with the Phoenix Cardinals.[5] In 1995 and 1996, Swann was named an NFL All Pro and to those years’ Pro Bowl teams.In 1998, Swann re-signed with the Cardinals for a five-year, $25 million contract with a $7.5 million signing bonus.[6] At that point in time, it was the richest contract ever signed by a Cardinals player in the history of the franchise.[7] Because he was recovering from knee surgeries, Swann did not practice with the Cardinals in the 1999 training camp period.[8] In 1999, he played nine games and had four sacks and a 42-yard interception.[9]The Cardinals waived Swann on July 11, 2000.[10] Two weeks later, he signed a one-year, veterans’ minimum deal with the Carolina Panthers along with Reggie White.[11]Eric Swann agreed in 2007 to play for the Hudson Valley Saints, who are a member of the North American Football League.[12]Eric Swann was inducted into the American Football Association’s Semi Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1998.[13]References[edit]^ “Past Shrine Bowl Players in the Pros”.
