Texas defensive lineman T’Vondre Sweat left a major impression at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday.
Sweat, who measured 6-foot-4 4/8 and weighed in at 366 pounds, wowed spectators with his 5.27 40-time, which is pretty absurd for a man of his size.
A clip of Sweat running the 40 immediately went viral on social media, eliciting wowed reactions on X/Twitter.
“In other places they just call this a train,” said Jake Crain of Crain & Company.
“Football Players Are The Best Athletes In The World!!!!” said former Chicago Bears defensive back Jerry Azumah.
“40 times for defensive linemen are kind of meaningless, but big fella is pickin’ em up and puttin’ em down here,” chimed in radio host Sean Pendergast.
“My guys T Sweat & Byron Murphy are the stars of the combine so far!” a Texas fan said.
“I think this is more impressive than someone running a 4.3 but I guess I’m an online guy,” another commenter added.
Making this even better is the fact Sweat called his shot during Wednesday’s media session.
“A lot of y’all going to be like [jaw drop] when I run this 40. I’m going to shock a lot of y’all,” Sweat said. “I’m just a big guy. A lot of people get scared of the numbers and all that, but when y’all see me move tomorrow, I feel a lot of people will be like, ‘What about his numbers?’ It’s just God.”
Sweat is far from a workout warrior too. As a fifth-year senior in 2023, he was a unanimous All-American and won the Outland Trophy.
He finished his career with 128 tackles, five sacks, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble in 62 games.
