Top 12 standouts from Senior Bowl '19

#7 Montez Sweat, Edge, Mississippi State

TaxSlayer Bowl - Mississippi State v Louisville

I’m not sure if anybody made himself more money last week than Mississippi State’s Montez Sweat. The first-team All-American stood out from the get-go in pass-rush one-on-ones with his speed around the edge and length to create problems for offensive linemen.

On day one Sweat won early on an up-and-under and then came back with a monster stutter and bull rush against the Alabama State kid to wrap up the session. Following that he quickly got some top 10 buzz around Senior Bowl media after coming into the week as more of a late first round prospect.

While he has put up some really good production for the Bulldogs (30 tackles for loss and 22.5 sacks in two years), he is still looked at as a pretty raw talent and scouts see a lot of potential to improve.

Despite that, I thought Sweat dominated all week long with his get-off and power while showing off his tremendous natural ability, including the length at 6’6” with 35 5/8-inch arms. Despite a stacked defensive line class, I’d be shocked if this guy makes it past the top 20 at this point.
