He was limited to 12 games last season after he sustained an ankle injury in Week 1 at Denver, missed a game, returned and re-injured the ankle and ended up on injured reserve until mid-October.
"He's a talented player and he's a guy that's going to get you tackles for losses and all of that," Davenport said. "It's just a matter of playing a lot of snaps, being healthy and just being well conditioned. And that's something that he worked on his rookie year, and it just continued like when he played, when he was out there. So he's a good player."
In his fifth and final season in college playing for Texas, Sweat won the Outland Trophy as the nation's top interior defensive lineman. He had 45 total tackles (18 solo), 8 TFL, 2 sacks, 4 PDs, and was credited with 28 total pressures (23 hurries, 3 hits, plus those pair of sacks).
"I think he could be one of the best run stoppers in the league because I've seen this guy push an O-lineman into the running back," Davenport said. "He didn't get credit for the tackle because he never tackled the back. He just knocked the guard into him. He has a really good swim move that he uses to get in the backfield quickly. And when you're a guard or an interior lineman, and you're used to absorbing that bull rush, you ghost it and swim like that, and now that's just another way to get to the quarterback. I think he could be one of the best run stuffers in the league."
