T’Vondre Sweat is a very large human. While playing at Texas, the defensive tackle used his massive frame very effectively but inconsistently. Sweat’s promise led the Tennessee Titans to select Sweat with the No. 37 overall pick in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Sweat was often projected as a likely first-round prospect before concerns about his weight and dedication to football, plus a DUI arrest, caused him to slide into the second round.
Some of the early reviews on Sweat from Titans camp are easing the fears about the 360-plus-pound defensive tackle. He’s looking engaged and polished for a rookie who missed the early offseason work.

This quick review from Titan Sized’s Will Lomas aptly sums up the reports coming out of Tennessee on Sweat,
Since the pads came on, it has become clear that even good NFL linemen are going to struggle to maintain their anchor against Sweat.
It’s early, of course, but so far Sweat seems to be everything the Titans wanted from their second-round pick.
