Indianapolis — By proving he can fly, Mississippi State defensive end Montez Sweat could be sending his draft stock soaring.
Sweat has done nothing but bolster his resume since playing his final game with the Bulldogs. First, he went to the Senior Bowl and dominated the week of practice in Mobile, Ala. He followed that up with a performance to remember at the combine, highlighted by a 4.41-second 40-yard dash, the fastest by a defensive lineman in combine history.
The time is even more impressive considering his prototypical 6-foot-6, 260-pound build.
