Former Florida State star defensive end Josh Sweat had himself a night against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, and it earned some high praise from voices all throughout NFL media.
According to the National Football League’s Next Gen Stats, Sweat generated a team-high six pressures on 34 pass rushes in Super Bowl LIX, including a career-high 2.5 sacks. He also registered four of his six pressures on early downs including every one of his sacks.
Moreover, Eagles beat writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer, Jeff McLane, shared that he voted for Sweat for the prestigious Super Bowl MVP award, but it ended up going to Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Full transparency: I had one of the Super Bowl MVP votes and I selected #Eagles DE Josh Sweat.
There were a lot of good candidates, but Sweat had an immediate impact on the game and kept Patrick Mahomes — one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time — under arrest for almost the entire game.
