'24 NFL Draft Profile - Texas' DT T'Vondre Sweat
Another bigtime product from the awesome 2023 season, Sweat seems one of a kind.
A lot like eating all your vegetables and saving the good stuff for last, I purposely went through the top of the DT class and saved my own pet cat until we got to the finish line so I had a proper idea of the comparison context necessary. With that declaration, here is my guy, T’Vondre Sweat of Texas:
No. 93 - T’Vondre Sweat - Age 22 - Senior - 6’4 1/2 - 366 - Texas - 5.27
Imagine how hard it is in the NFL to be a giant amongst giants. If you have ever been close to a NFL sideline, you know how big the linemen are. But, once in a while, we see a human created with uncommon size and athleticism who can demonstrate the game skills that can absolutely wreck a game at a high level. I think Sweat is and can be that guy.
Of course, it is not just me. He won the Outland Trophy which is given annually to the best interior lineman in the sport. Ndamukong Suh, Aaron Donald, and Quinnen Williams also have their names on the trophy, so you know we are talking about a man who dominated at the college level.
He played 1,800 snaps at Texas over five seasons and won every award he could win in 2023, other than the Heisman which he tried to campaign for after he scored a touchdown in the Big 12 championship Game.
