Josh Sweat, once one of the top high school football prospects in the country, acknowledges that he did not have the college career he envisioned.
“I don’t think I had the college career I wanted at all, but it doesn’t really matter anymore. I’m here. I feel like I’m in a much better place as far as using my abilities the way they should be used,” Sweat said Friday, after the first workout of the Eagles’ weekend rookie minicamp.
In the run-up to the NFL draft, which would see Sweat taken by the Eagles in the fourth round, 130th overall, there was much talk of the devastating knee injury Sweat suffered his senior year in high school, how he wasn’t able to practice every day at Florida State, and underwent a minor meniscus procedure in 2016.
