Washington Redskins fans weren’t alone in their surprise and excitement about the front office trading back into the first round of the 2019 NFL draft to grab edge rusher Montez Sweat.
In the interview above, veteran linebacker Mason Foster detailed how he was watching the combine and thinking Sweat could be a force in the NFL.
Now they’re teammates.
And Sweat did put on an all-timer of a show at the combine, measuring at 6’6″ and 260 pounds but running the 40-yard dash in just 4.41 seconds. He also impressed with a 36-inch vertical jump, 125 on the broad jump and seven seconds flat in the three-cone drill.
Now Foster gets to potentially line up next to Sweat at least on a rotational basis, with Reuben Foster on his other side in what is a retooled defense for the Redskins.
