T'Vondre Sweat picked by Titans after predraft DUI
The Tennessee Titans selected Texas defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, No. 38 overall.
Sweat gives the Titans a nose tackle candidate in the heart of their front seven.
Sweat visited the Titans during the pre-draft process. He was arrested for a DWI earlier this month prior to a visit with Tennessee.
The defensive lineman is the brother of Philadelphia Eagles pass-rusher Josh Sweat.
Pre-draft profile
Sweat isn't your typical space-eating nose tackle. He can handle those duties, to be sure, as his size and power understandably make him a nightmare to move off the ball. But he's also surprisingly nimble for a 366-pounder. Sweat can notch quick wins both as a pass-rusher and as a run defender by beating his opponent with lateral quickness and strong hand usage. While he may lack the explosive athleticism to become a high-end pass-rusher, the upside he's shown gives him the potential to be much more than a pocket-pusher, and perhaps a true three-down player at the next level.
