Freddie Swain was drafted in the 6th round(214 overall) in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks, where he was the wide receiver for two seasons. Without a clear space in the team, he was released from the Seahawks and joined the Miami Dolphins where he was part of the practice squad on September 2, 2022.

Last season wasn't good for the wide receiver, because he didn't have the opportunity to play that much, being involved in 4 games and only starting in 1 of them. But also the fact, that in the period of five-month, he went through 2 teams were he didn't even play that much.
