After signing a four-year contract last offseason to join the Cardinals, he had a career-high 12 sacks. He also had 13 tackles for loss, 17 quarterback hits and four forced fumbles.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young raved about Sweat's motor and effort. "He's a guy you know is never going to quit," he said. "That speeds things up. It disrupts the rhythm."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tackle Tristan Wirf described Sweat, "crazy motor, long guy." He "covers a lot of ground when he's doing moves."

His Cardinals teammate, tight end Trey McBride, said, "I'm very grateful that we were able to pick him up in free agency. I'm very excited for him to have another really big year this year."
