T'Vondre Sweat garnering hype after impressive Tennessee Titans debut

There weren't too many positives to point to in the Tennessee Titans ' disappointing Week 1 loss to the Chicago Bears , but defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat was definitely one of them.

Sweat looked dominant at times in his NFL debut, tallying two pressures and an 81.8 pass-rush grade, according to Pro Football Focus . Sweat was also effective against the run, posting a 64.2 grade in that department.

Among all Titans, Sweat had the second-highest overall grade with a 77.7, and his aforementioned pass-rush grade was the seventh-highest of any defensive player in the NFL in Week 1.

For his efforts, Sweat got the "Baldy's Breakdown" treatment from NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger, who nicknamed the rookie "T-Pain".

Fellow Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons also chimed in. He praised Sweat for his Week 1 showing but believes the best is yet to come.

"It was really pretty impressive," head coach Brian Callahan said of Sweat . "I think Sweat has been on a consistent arrow up – he's been rising since he's gotten here. In every week that went by in training camp he got more comfortable, he got better, his weight went down, he is getting more in shape, he is learning how to play. And that was really, really good to see. I mean, he was a force."

If Sweat was able to make an impact like he did in his first NFL game, one can only imagine how much better he's going to get as he gains more experience.

Sweat and the Titans will be back in action in Week 2 when they welcome the New York Jets to Nashville.
