Sweat was the real deal in 2025: 12 sacks, four forced fumbles and the kind of strip-sack skill that changes games. He gives Arizona a true edge closer, not just a pressure guy who almost gets there. The knee status is worth watching, but a healthy Sweat is the player every protection plan begins with.
Strengths: Explosive edge rush, proven finishing, strip-sack instincts and postseason experience. His 2025 production came with takeaways, not empty pressures, and he has the length to affect passing lanes.
Weaknesses: A 2026 knee issue placed him on PUP to begin camp, so availability is the immediate concern. After a career year, defenses will build more game plans around chips, slides and quick throws to blunt him.
