The NFL Draft is later this month at the end of April, which for college football players who are hoping for a career in professional football is the most important day(s) of their lives.

They go through a very strict interview process where teams will poke and prod every aspect of their life to make sure that they are someone who is worth drafting and should be a part of their organization.

In every draft class, there are talented players who fall down draft boards due to character concerns or legal issues, and while it is unclear how much it will affect his draft stock, former Longhorns T'Vondre Sweat found himself in legal trouble after a DWI in Austin on Sunday after he crashed into another car.

According to reports, he is set to visit two NFL teams after he made bail.

Sweat will be visiting with the Tennessee Titans on Monday, and will also meet with the Seattle Seahawks later this week, per NFL Media.     

The All-American and Outland Trophy winner in 2023 was often penciled into second rounds in NFL mock drafts, but with this incident on his resume and the draft just around the corner, he could hurt his stock and also hurt his wallet a bit if he slips in the draft.

This past season, Sweat racked up a career-high 45 total tackles, five pass deflections, and two sacks while also hauling in a touchdown pass during the Big 12 Championship game against Oklahoma State.
