Despite rumors of a slide on draft boards, Texas defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat landed with the Tennessee Titans early in Round 2.
Despite entering the spring as one of the top-rated defensive tackles in the class, the road leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft was a difficult one for Texas Longhorns defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat in recent weeks., leading many to speculate that his draft stock would take a major hit. There were even rumors that some teams had removed Sweat from their draft boards completely.
"It was amazing. I’ve been working for this all my life," Sweat said."I’m so glad the Titans believed in me, and Tennessee, I’m coming home, and I promise there won’t be a letdown. Tennessee fans, let’s rock ‘n’ roll." Understandably, it was an emotional situation for Sweat. After all, it was the culmination of a journey that saw him working night and day for the last five years to become arguably the best defensive tackle Texas has seen since the days of Rodrique Wright."Just a lot of tears, a lot of tears," Sweat said of his family's reaction to his selection."It’s the biggest moment of my life, so they were so happy and had so many tears.
