One thing is crystal clear with T'Vondre; he is the dream profile for any team looking for a massive Nose Tackle whose role of Gap eater (literally a gap eater, a DT or NT who is imposing and takes up space on the line) can be directly utilized upon his arrival in the NFL.
T'Vondre is truly capable of elite reps in situations of Run stop, (and those who have known us, Valentin and me, for a long time know that we don't throw around the term "elite" lightly when discussing a player's game aspect) as well as a very good capability in situations of Gap control where it's not uncommon to see him absorb the impacts of blockers before anchoring himself into the ground in a manner similar to some OL in pass protection. Once T'Vondre plants himself, he simply won't move. While seeing him able to control his responsibility gap so effectively is quite impressive, I would prefer he could do the same while in motion, thus penetrating to collapse the pocket from the inside and leaving no chance for the ball carrier to escape his grasp.

Another very interesting point that leverages Sweat's power and his good ability to defend the run is his capacity, at times, to completely destroy attempts of Double teams opposing plays, and here we're not just talking about beating the double team with speed or by absorbing the shock but truly about destruction, where he literally blows up one or both guys in front of him.

Sweat also possesses a very high power, which, unfortunately, does not flash enough for my taste. If this power flashes too seldom, it's particularly because T'Vondre is too slow and not explosive enough. As a result, the significant power he applies is exerted slowly, and often the ball is already gone before Sweat has had time to do anything.

If in some pass-rushing reps T'Vondre is capable of showing some nice technique execution with just enough acceleration to beat blockers, unfortunately, there are two issues with his ability to rush the QB. The first is the fact that he uses these techniques too infrequently, while the second is simply related to the number of techniques used. Only three techniques are really used regularly in situations of Pass rush which is Bull-rush, his Swim move And finally, a movement he loves, which is swiping the OL's hands downward. These three movements make his technique palette very predictable for the OL in pass situations. As we could see during the Senior Bowl, Sweat was not the most prominent DL at the event, particularly in 1vs1 matchups, because of this.

Let's now discuss what might be concerning about T'Vondre, starting with his weight. Sweat is heavy, very heavy, perhaps even too heavy. The Longhorns' NT declined to be weighed at the Senior Bowl before finally being weighed at 366lbs at the Combine, while he was at 362lbs during the season. This weight directly impacts his athletic abilities; I personally find him slow, not very explosive, and moreover, he's incapable of maintaining his pursuits for more than 3-4 yards. And that's when he decides to pursue because sometimes he directly decides not to, likely believing, or being advised by his coaches, that it wouldn't be very useful given his slowness. Someone will surely make the tackle before him, so why bother making the effort.

Another displeasing point, T'Vondre tends to play too high and fails to take advantage of an optimal Leverage low center of gravity, which is unfortunate considering the power he can develop; and as usual, if a player plays too high, he will struggle to consistently dominate his opponent effectively.
