Texans longhorns after play their match a player have a injera.
Rumor: Following his arrest for DWI, T’Vondre Sweat of the Longhorns will not be drafted by the Houston Texans
Rumor: Following the D-Lineman’s DWI arrest in Austin, the Houston Texans will not draft University of Texas Longhorns star T’Vondre Sweat.
Football player at the University of Texas, T’Vondre Sweat, was arrested and accused with driving under the influence on Sunday. If found guilty, this offense might negatively impact his candidacy for the 2019 NFL Draft.
According to records, at 2:12 p.m. on Sunday, Sweat, 22, was taken into custody by the Austin Police Department and placed into the Travis County Jail. In Texas, a DWI is classified as a Class B misdemeanor. The defensive lineman, who was outstanding, had to provide a $3,000 bond to be released from custody soon after he was arrested.
The 6-4, 366-pound Sweat, who was seen as a late-first-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, is reportedly set to be selected out of the draft by teams who are vying for his services.
Among them are the Houston Texans, who have ties to the player but who may not be drawn to Sweat at all, based on a well-researched report.
Lance Zierlein writes: “If he is still on their board, I would be surprised.” Never say never, but with a player they might not be able to trust, I’m not sure the Texans want to sabotage momentum. That’s simply conjecture.
Furthermore, Sweat has been candid about his “partying” when he was a younger player during his visits to the NFL, according to colleague and draft analyst Dane Brugler.
The native of Huntsville, Texas, Sweat won the Outland Trophy as the finest interior lineman in college football after leading the Longhorns to both the Big 12 title and the College Football Playoff semifinals. He was also awarded the Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Year. Naturally, they will still draft him. However, it’s possible that this isn’t as high as it formerly was, and it could not even be by the Texans.
