INDIANAPOLIS – Most would want to scurry out of the Indianapolis winter after missing the playoffs for a second straight season.
Especially a California native, who played collegiately at the University of Miami, like Erik Swoope.
But it’s hard to blame Swoope for not wanting the 2016 season to end.
After two seasons of learning the rudimentary tasks of playing football, Swoope had a breakout campaign this past year---averaging 19.8 yards per catch, the second highest of 56 tight ends with at least 14 catches in 2016 (Rob Gronkowski was the only tight end with a higher yards per catch average).
