NASHVILLE — Newly drafted Tennessee Titans defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat has some new bulletin board material. Frequently, athletes search high and low for perceived slights as motivation. Sweat won't have to look further than a recent"Sweat is powerful as a defensive tackle who can get up the field and destroy blockers at times," Verderame wrote."The problem? He wasn’t always that guy. At Texas, Sweat played in 51 games and totaled just 17.
Sweat was awarded the 2023 Outland Trophy, which is given to the best college football interior offensive or defensive lineman. Additionally, he was named the Big 12 Conference's best defensive player by the Associated Press and a unanimous All-American. Titans general manager Ran Carthon expressed confidence in Sweat as a three-down lineman.
"Yes, that's why we think he's a three-down style player is because he can and has pressured the quarterback because he's got tremendous strength and power in the middle of the pocket," Carthon said. And so when you're able to do that, like I said, it's a problem for quarterbacks. Quarterbacks don't like the pocket in their face. They like lanes. They like places to slide and escape.
