“I just want to thank you a lot for all you have done for me,” Sweat, wearing a Titans shirt, said from Nashville, where he’s in the middle of training camp. “I can’t be more thankful for a mom like you. Everyone in the world already knows you’re special to me. I just want to say: I love you, I love you, I love you. I want to thank you for everything you’ve done for me since I was a little kid with my other two brothers.”

And…

“Mom, I just want to say: I finally got the house you wanted. Dreams do come true. I can’t appreciate you more. And, I hope you love your new home.”

Growing up, Sweat said his mom often worked multiple jobs to make ends meet, yet she never failed to show up at his games.

“My mom, she’s special. I love her to death, and I respect her so much. She’s a very, very, very strong woman, and she’s sacrificed so much. I can’t say in words how much I appreciate my mom being in my life, so I’m happy I can do this for her. And, for all the guys out there: Love your moms, man, because you only get one.”
