Earlier in the week, Tennessee Titans’ outstanding rookie defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat rumbled his way into the hearts and minds of football fans across the globe.
Sweat not only showed the world what he could do with the ball in his hands, he brought home the Week 15 “Angry Runs” scepter. Today, he received the scepter and talked about the play.

“This is great for me and stuff, I’ve been training,” he said, “My running back skills showed off.”
Titans fans have no reason to worry though, Sweat is good with his role anchoring the defensive line and plans to leave any potential ball-carrying accolades for linemate Jeffery Simmons.
“He got it. My time (is) up.” Sweat said, “I got what I came for!”
The Titans got a steal in the second round with Sweat, who leads all rookie defensive linemen in snaps in 2024. The immovable object in the middle is a true building block and should only improve with experience.
Sweat and the Titans will be back in action on Sunday when they face the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium in Week 16 action.
