    Tennessee Titans defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat entered the NFL with no shortage of question marks, but so far in training camp he's answering the bell.

    Sweat had some issues early on in training camp as he tried to get into shape after a lengthy offseason absence due to injury , but he looks to be rounding into form and getting better each and every day.

    And he was once again a standout during Saturday's practice . According to ESPN's Turron Davenport , Sweat shined during the team period, and did so against center Lloyd Cushenberry, which only makes his showing more impressive.

    "Back to back solid reps from T'Vondre Sweat," Davenport revealed. "He beat Lloyd Cushenberry with a quick swim move to rush a throw then got instant pressure to stop (Will) Levis from throwing a screen. Levis had to dirt it."

    But that wasn't all for Sweat, who also stood out during the one-on-one pass-rush drill, with Davenport writing, "T'Vondre Sweat is standing out during 1v1 pass rush. He and Lloyd Cushenberry are getting after it."

    Davenport wasn't the only Titans beat writer to take notice of Sweat's impressive day, with Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com writing this about the Texas product:

    I feel like I shouldn't go any further without mentioning rookie T'Vondre Sweat. The big defensive lineman was giving the o-linemen hell during the 1-on-1 pass rush period, and when the Titans moved to the team period, Sweat was in the face of Levis in a hurry, forcing him to throw the ball away. Sweat seems to be getting better every day.

    Even head coach Brian Callahan got in on the Sweat love fest on Saturday.

    “Everything I thought (Sweat) could be, he has been that and more,” Callahan said, according to AtoZ Sports Nashville .

    There's certainly still a long way to go before we can confidently say that Sweat is going to be a true difference-maker upfront for Tennessee.

    However, there's no question that he is moving in the right direction, and if this keeps up, Sweat and Jeffery Simmons are going to be a big problem upfront for opposing offenses in 2024 and beyond.
