STRENGTHS
Natural corner who has played and can play all over field. Played in the box in dime package and used as deep safety on a few snaps. Good length pressing and crowding receivers to the sideline. At his best as bump-and-run corner playing inside leverage. Thin but physical in run support. Covered big receivers and tight ends from the slot. Blitzes like a heat-seeking missile.


Saints selected Georgia CB Damian Swann with the No. 167 overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft.

Swann (6'0/189) was a playmaker in Georgia's secondary, piling up 10 career TFLs, four sacks, six forced fumbles, and eight INTs as a 40-game starter. He earned second-team All SEC as a senior. Swann proved to be a pedestrian athlete at the Combine, running 4.50 with a 33-inch vertical and 9-foot-10 broad jump. Competitive and physical, Swann's best position may be free safety or slot corner. May 2 - 3:15


Georgia senior CB Damian Swann "could stay with any receiver in coverage drills" at the Shrine Game, observed the Sporting News' Chris Kouffman.

"Swann was easily one of the smartest and most communicative players in the Bulldogs' secondary," Kouffman wrote. "Georgia moved him from deep safety to slot corner to the boundary, depending on the defensive play call and the opposing offense’s alignment. Swann was able to handle all of this movement easily while keeping constant communication with his teammates, often calling out offensive tendencies based on alignment and leverage. This trait showed up again in Shrine Game practices as his route recognition improved during the week." The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Swann has long been a playmaker. In 2013, he forced eight (four interceptions, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries). This year, he posted 52 total tackles, three interceptions and three pass break-ups.


Georgia senior CB Damian Swann "showed the foot quickness and high level of competitiveness during Shrine Game practices that will give him a shot in the NFL," according to CBS Sports' Dane Brugler.
"He tends to play overanxious at times, but his click-and-close ability to drive and blow up plays is a terrific asset for the position," Brugler wrote. "Swann doesn't have an ideal body type for the position with lean-muscled bulk, but he's tough and feisty to work through blocks and make wideouts uncomfortable. After playing a similar role as Brandon Boykin at Georgia, look for Swann to compete for a nickel position at the next level." The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Swann recorded four interceptions, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries in 2013, and 52 total tackles, three interceptions and three pass break-ups in 2014.


He is a fighter and if he lives up to his potential will be a valuable role player at worst

"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!
