“Don’t sleep on fellow Tiger, 5th round pick Bradyn Swinson,” Scott Pioli wrote on X. “I got to see quite a bit of them both on the field and off the field while consulting for @LSUfootball the past couple of seasons. I truly think Swinson’s best football is ahead of him.”

When you see Patriots fifth-round pick Bradyn Swinson out and about in Foxboro, chances are the edge rusher is going to have a football in his hands.

The New England Patriots addressed their need at edge rusher by taking LSU defender Bradyn Swinson in the fifth-round of the 2025 NFL draft on Saturday. Some might consider this move a major steal for the Patriots. Swinson's stock was as high as a potential second-round pick, but he somehow plummeted down the board to New England.
