Swaim has been known for being the blocking TE while Trey McBride has done the heavy lifting offensively.

In his first season as a Cardinal, Swaim played in all 14 games, started eight, gathered 94 yards from 10 receptions.

Last game, he would suffer his season-ending injury during Arizona’s 45-29 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Woods tackled 61 times, recorded half a sack and a defended pass in 11 games this season.
