T’Vondre Sweat is now a household name if he wasn’t before.
The defensive tackle out of Texas weighed in at 366 pounds at the 2024 NFL combine, proving he could be a solid man in the middle for whoever drafts him in April.
But the 6-foot-4 showed off something else on Thursday: An UNREAL 40-yard dash. He ran it in 5.27 seconds, which is faster than you and I could do it (note: I ran it in 2018 for this website, and I was nearly a second slower!).
The NFL world was amazed by the run, as you can see by the reaction below:
T’Vondre Sweat at 366 lbs just ran his 40 yard dash in 5.27 seconds and it was FLUID. Sweat’s adjusted 40 time at his height and weight is like an 180 pound DB running a 4.26. 🤯 @TvondreSweat pic.twitter.com/NQzcBwGtHj

This is the same dude who caught a touchdown in the Big 12 title game, which makes this triply awesome.
