I grew up idolizing Swann. As a kid in the early '80s, I just focused on his leaping, graceful catches. Now as an older guy, I watch some of the old games and appreciate more the down and dirty plays, when Swann goes over the middle and takes a jarring hit, or goes low and scoops the ball just off the turf on third and long. He was a very complete receiver, a great competitor who has a great nose for the sticks and the ball, and can turn a short play into a big play at any time.

"Lynn Swann"!___One of my favorite players of all time. He should have been a hall of famer not after his career but during his career. A legend in his own time__ "true blue" "true Warrior" "flying gazelle" "divine intervention" need I say more? From a true "Steeler" fan since mid season "1978" I love and enjoyed the " Pittsburgh Steelers". Bless you "Lynn Swann".

One of my all time favorites! I remember an 8th grade school project where we were asked who would we want to be, and I chose Lynn Swann. Being reminded about some of those hits he took - I would have never survived! He took so much punishment but kept coming back. Just imagine the stats he would rack up in today's game.

This man still holds a record that none of the so called better receivers have ever come close to. Even amongst the Hall of Fame guys….Swann’s rec to td’s ratio is BEST OF ALL TIME. 336 rec 51 tds. That’s a TD every 6.5 catches.

John Jefferson was a slightly bigger, faster, even more acrobatic version of Swann. But my man JJ turned into a different player come playoff time. To be a legend you got to be clutch.

The only point I’ll make is you can NEVER compare the QB’s and WR’s who played pre Mel Blount rule with those who played after the Mel Blount rule. It’s no secret why all the record holders at QB and WR are modern players from the 80’s on.

Oddly Swann didn't have very many cards. I think he refused to sign a likeness deal. His cards may actually be more valuable for that reason
