Tennessee Titans select Texas Longhorns DT T’Vondre Sweat in second round of NFL draft
The Tennessee Titans selected Texas Longhorns defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat with the No. 38 overall pick in the second round of the NFL draft on Friday.
An April arrest for driving while intoxicated appears to have not had much impact on Sweat’s draft stock.
The Huntsville, Texas, native had 45 tackles, eight tackles for loss and 18 solo tackles in 2023. He was the Outland Trophy winner and Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year for his efforts. He played five seasons at Texas.
Sweat was also named a unanimous All-American and went viral after he struck the Heisman pose following a 2-yard TD reception in the Big 12 championship game. He won a conference title last season, played a big part in Texas’ first appearance in the four-team College Football Playoff.
