Erwin Swiney sp? The CB in the early 2000s. I remember at the time thinking how much he sucked.

He was in the NFL for 3 years.

Probably substandard by NU standards at the time, but IMO DBs are more likely to be thought of this way than almost any other position, probably because of coverage schemes & the different things they allow in front of different secondary guys.

Yeah and Craig Bohl didn't help him either. He had Swiney in man to man coverage against Quincy Morgan in that snowy game in Manhattan where Morgan went for like 200 yards. That matchup lost NU that game.

That's a fair statement. We had a string of AWESOME CBs at the time, Ralph Brown, Fabian Washington, Keyuo Craver sp?, and some others that I can't remember the name of and then he came along. He just wasn't up to their level (at the time at least).

Pretty sure Swiney was in the same class as Crouch, who played just before Craver and Washington got on campus in like 99 and 2002

Oh no kidding? I didn’t remember that. I just seem to remember not thinking he was good when I watched him. Take him off the list then.
