Sweed (6'4 - 220) spent the last two weeks of the 2012 season on the Riders practice roster after signing with the team in October. Previously, the Navasota, TX native played three seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, registering 7 receptions for 69 yards and was a member of the 2009 Super Bowl Champions. The Steelers originally drafted Swede in the 2nd round (53rd overall) of the 2008 NFL Draft out of the University of Texas where he was a two-time Rose Bowl Champion and member of the 2005 BCS National Championship team.
