Also, his dog bit a team mate, and he allegedly had to steal his own car from a body shop. Sounds like a wonderful, intelligent human being.

This is now the second time in his career that the former second-round pick from South Carolina has been released by a team despite playing well. The Texans, who originally drafted Swearinger, released him in 2015 following multiple incidents. Swearinger walked out of a special teams meeting because he reportedly viewed himself as too important to contribute on kick coverage due to being a second-round pick. Additionally, there were incidents in which his dog bit Jadeveon Clowney, and he allegedly stole his own truck from a body shop parking lot.
