Titans rookie earns breakdown from legendary NFL analyst

Titans rookie T’Vondre Sweat is already catching eyes around the NFL.

The massive defensive tackle was the Titans’ second-round selection in the 2024 NFL Draft and should immediately play a key role in the defense.

This weekend, legendary NFL analyst Brian Baldinger singled out Sweat as a player he will be studying. Baldinger, known for his “Baldys Breakdowns” series, was watching Sweat’s preseason tape and was impressed by how the DT “takes up space.”

Baldinger is a respected football mind, so catching his eye already is a great sign for Sweat.

During his final season at Texas in 2023, Sweat racked up 45 tackles, eight tackles for loss, and two sacks. Sweat was considered to be one of the top defensive linemen in the 2024 NFL Draft, and the Titans jumped on the former Longhorn in the 2nd round.

Sweat will be relied upon heavily as a rookie, starting next to Sebastian Joseph-Day and Jeffery Simmons on the Titans’ front.

Sweat and the Titans will kick off the 2024 season on September 8 against the Chicago Bears.
