Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Heart condition holding top prospect back?

Mississippi State University Bulldog and SEC stand out Montez Sweat is suffering from a heart condition. This first came to light at the NFL Scouting Combine this year in Indianapolis, however it was not deemed severe and doctors to perform every drill cleared him. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers now have to consider whether or not Sweat is worth the risk with their first round pick.

Sweat went on to set the combine on fire after running a 4.41 40 yard dash. At 6’6 and 260 pounds, he seemed to shoot up every single draft board after his performance in Indianapolis.
