Whether it's his Power or Speed rush techniques, he's got some real points to make.

When it comes to power rush, as we've seen in previous points, Bradyn is an explosive player who stays low, has a strong punch, good hand placement, and quickly extends his arms. All these elements combined make him more than capable of executing a highly effective bull rush, a technique he frequently uses, especially when lined up against tight ends. His long arm move is also dangerous, though he doesn't use it as often as I would like. From what I’ve observed, it may be because he hasn’t fully mastered the technique or doesn’t feel entirely comfortable with it—I’m not sure, but it’s a shame. Additionally, he can rely on a solid rip move to force his way through, even against larger opponents.

But if you're a fan of pass rushing, it's Bradyn's speed rush abilities that truly deserve attention—because once again, he's often underrated in this area. He actually has a really solid repertoire of moves, starting with his ghost move, which becomes especially devastating once he has conditioned his opponent with a few power rush moves, forcing them to be more aggressive in containing his attacks. That’s when Bradyn switches to finesse to break through—and more often than not, it works beautifully.

In addition to his Ghost move, Bradyn is also a master of the Swim move, which he often uses to pass inside, as well as the classic Chop and Club to return to the Power rush register.

On the other hand, he makes far less use of the Spin move (almost never), even in Counter move. The same goes for his Stutter Step, which, although quite effective, is rarely used.

Continuing with his pass-rushing abilities, it's important to talk about his bend—and once again, Bradyn is quite solid. There’s nothing extraordinary that would leave you in awe watching his reps, but it remains very effective. His bend isn’t necessarily based on elite agility but rather on his strength, which allows him to absorb a lot of pressure on his lower body without significantly slowing him down or throwing him off balance.

The last key point about Bradyn that could interest franchises—and potentially earn him (or cost him, as we’ll see in the next section) some points—is his personality. Bradyn is clearly not a player without emotions or just another cog in the machine. On the positive side, he has an assertive leadership quality and can quickly become a fan favorite. However, there’s also a downside that teams will have to manage.

Whether it's his athletic abilities, Power rush techniques, Speed rush, Run stop, Bend, or Leverage, Bradyn isn’t elite in any of these areas. While he certainly shows some promising traits, he doesn’t stand out in any particular category, nor does he give off the impression of total dominance—the kind that can take over a game and dictate its outcome.

In a league that constantly seeks those coveted "elite traits" in draft prospects, Bradyn stands out in a different way. While he could certainly continue to develop, at this moment, it's not his potential ceiling that will draw attention but rather his impressive floor.
This point alone could explain why the hype around him remains relatively modest. His only real chance to significantly boost his draft stock would be an outstanding pre-draft process.

Since we're talking about ceiling and final potential, let's dive into the details. I believe that if franchises aren't primarily interested in Bradyn's potential, it's largely because there are legitimate questions surrounding it. While his statistical production has improved, this seems to be more a result of better utilization and an overall stronger defensive performance rather than a clear leap in his individual skillset. Ultimately, Bradyn hasn't showcased anything this season that he hadn't already displayed last year. And with a high floor like his—where he's consistently good to very good across the board—it becomes difficult to envision a major progression in his game.

Bradyn's draft doesn't promise like some prospects to see him explode, but rather to have an assurance of consistent performance.

Another point to bear in mind with Swinson, as I mentioned just above, is his use and where he falls. We've seen this with the difference in stats between his season under Matt House and this season under Blake Baker.  

I believe Bradyn could thrive in any system. After all, he has spent the last two seasons in a 3-3-5 defense playing as a Jack LB—the designated pass-rushing OLB in that scheme. However, those same two seasons have also shown that while he possesses the necessary athletic traits for this role, his zone coverage remains inconsistent and would require further development before becoming a reliable aspect of his game. On the other hand, his power and natural comfort in run-defense situations could allow him to make an immediate impact as a Defensive End in an Even Front (a four-man defensive line).

Finally, the last point of debate regarding Swinson, as mentioned earlier, is his personality and character. Personally, I loved watching Bradyn at LSU, but I have no problem admitting that he’s an absolute pest on the field!

A quick disclaimer for our American friends who will read this translated report—there's nothing racist about this at all! Quite the opposite, it's just a way of speaking in our culture that could be translated as “he’s a DAWG!”

Bradyn can definitely drive people crazy—with his statements, his posts on Twitter, his Insta/Snap stories, his often aggressive attitude on the field, and the fact that he’s constantly trash-talking. He can quickly become unbearable for opposing fanbases, but how can you not love him when he’s defending your colors? That’s why I’ve chosen to place this point under the weaknesses section, even though, personally, I see it as a huge plus.
