Defensive end Montez Sweat is my annual way-too-early to really know pick for the Panthers in the first round. I blame it on Bucky Brooks. Then Sweat goes and sets a speed record and thus cementing his status in my heart.
Just five weeks after wowing NFL scouts at the Reese’s Senior Bowl with his on-field play, Mississippi State edge rusher Montez Sweat wowed them again on Sunday, this time with a 4.41-second 40-yard dash to set a modern record (since 2003) for a defensive lineman at the NFL Scouting Combine.
