Astigmatism in his eye looked to have caused some troubles for Sweed after getting picked up by the Steelers in the second round 53rd overall in the draft. And his career never really took off after that unfortunate diagnosis ahead of his rookie season. Sweed wound up totaling just seven catches for 69 receiving yards and one touchdown catch during his brief NFL career.
Since Sweed did have his career defined by his drop in the playoffs in on a nice pass from future Hall-of-Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, it seemed like his character was painted in the wrong light. Various injury problems and astigmatism likely pushed his career to the brink in the worst of ways. Sweed tore his Achilles tendon in , which largely doomed his NFL career. He would have a few contracts he signed in the CFL from then on out, without really getting another shot with any other NFL team.
