Josh Sweat

This is Josh Sweat’s money year so to speak. This will be the third year removed from the terrible leg injury he suffered in high school.

It’s still amazes me he played as a true freshman in 2015.

Sweat was injured in the early part of last season(separate from the high school injury) and still didn’t seem 100 percent recovered from the high school injury.

However, he really picked up his play in the last few games of the season and finished the year with seven sacks which was good for third on the team.

Sweat is one of the strongest players on the team and has always been solid against the run when healthy.

If he’s finally 100 percent, he could make himself a lot of money in the 2018 NFL Draft. FSU football needs him to have the same consistency he finished 2016 with to be successful.
