The Denver Broncos have or soon will host Texas defensive lineman T’Vondre Sweat on a pre-draft visit this week, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Sweat (6-4, 366 pounds) ran a 40-yard dash in 5.27 seconds and a 10-yard split in 1.8 seconds at the NFL combine earlier this offseason. He spent five years with the Longhorns, starting the last two seasons.
After earning honorable mention All-Big 12 recognition in 2022, Sweat took home a host of honors in 2023. He won the Outland Trophy, given to college football’s best interior lineman, was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and earned first-team All-American and All-Big 12 honors. He is a big, run-stuffing lineman.
NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein has compared Sweat to Vita Vea and Sam Adams, who were first-round picks in 2018 and 1994, respectively.
Sweat was projected to be a second-round pick before he was arrested on a driving while intoxicated charge earlier this month. It’s unclear how much that might impact Sweat’s draft stock. The Broncos do not currently hold a pick in the second round, but they do have picks in the third (No. 76) and fourth (No. 121) rounds.
The 2024 NFL draft will be held in Detroit from April 25-27. We are tracking all of Denver’s pre-draft prospect visits on Broncos Wire.
