1. T'Vondre Sweat - Texas
Former Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis stunned people when he ran a 4.78 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine a year ago. Texas DT T'Vondre Sweat was confident he could do the same. Weighing in at 366 pounds, Sweat was probably even larger than scouts had assumed and needed to show his athleticism in the testing drills. The mountainous man was still impressive for a guy weighing north of 360 pounds, but his 40 time was 5.27 seconds, and his other testing numbers were no better. He scored a 4.10 out of 10 on the RAS scale for athleticism, which places him in the 41st percentile for interior defensive linemen. That was without him participating in the agility drills, which likely would have tanked his score further. Yes, he’s massive and was productive on the field. Relative to his peers, he is below average as an athlete, and his draft stock was undoubtedly hurt at the NFL Combine.
