Josh Sweat is a physical freak playing at the Seahawks’ biggest positional need

Coming back from a gruesome leg injury in high school, Florida State’s Josh Sweat became one of college football’s most tantalizing prospects with the Seminoles. Sweat is an elite athlete, testing in the 95th-percentile, and had flashes of Jadeveon Clowney-esque brilliance at Florida State.

There is a reason Sweat is viewed in the second-tier of pass rushers, however, and it’s the question of consistency. For every grown-ass-man-making-a-grown-ass-man-play moments he had with the Seminoles, there were a handful of nothing rushes and lazily chasing the ball carrier against the run.
