Who wouldn\u2019t eagerly welcome a 6-foot-4, 366-pound big fella into the fold? Save for the brand-new racehorse owner searching for a jockey, group members would generally jump for joy if presented with T\u2019Vondre Sweat.<\/p>\n
Count Aaron Glenn\u2019s New York Jets as firmly belonging to that category. Courtesy of a surprising trade that sent Jermaine Johnson<\/a> to the Tennessee Titans for the run-stuffing interior lineman, Glenn\u2019s defense beefed up in a major way, and one of Sweat\u2019s former teammates provided some clues as to the big heavy\u2019s current state of mind. <\/p>\n On Sunday morning, Seattle Seahawks safety Quandre Diggs quote-posted<\/a> Joe Blewett, specifically referencing Sweat. <\/p>\n \u201c(A) change of scenery (is) good for my dawg!\u201d Diggs said on X. \u201cPositivity is what he needs!\u201d<\/p>\n Sweat, 24, was drafted in the second round (No. 38) in the 2024 NFL draft. In 29 games (28 games started) spanning the last two seasons, Sweat compiled 8 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, 6 quarterback hits, 2 pass defended, 2 forced fumbles (one recovered), and 85 combined tackles (38 solo). <\/p>\n The Texas product\u2019s size is but a mere snippet at the beginning of the story. He\u2019s a picturesque sight for football coaches who want a 2-gapping block-eater up front.<\/p>\n Sweat\u2019s presence allows the Jets\u2019 defense to infuse 3-4 principles into the scheme. Although the 2025 unit \u2014 led by Steve Wilks \u2014 sometimes used odd fronts, the frequency paled in comparison to the Glenn-led Detroit Lions defenses of 2021-2024.<\/p>\n Here’s a quick look at a few potential New York #Jets<\/a> packages (hybrid, 3-4 and 4-3-principled fronts) with Arvell Reese, Alex Anzalone, and big fella T’Vondre Sweat.<\/p>\n \u2014Too heavy right now, even for the 3-4 stuff (they need one or two true 3-tech types, in general).
