Former Ohio State linebacker Andrew Sweat signed a three-year contract with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent, but was a no-show for rookie mini-camp on Friday and will not pursue an NFL career, Bill Rabinowitz of the Columbus Post-Dispatch reports. In 39 career games as Buckeye, the 6-foot-1, 238-pound Sweat totaled 133 tackles, including nine tackles for loss, with three interceptions, four passes defensed and five forced fumbles. Sweat missed time as a sophomore with a knee injury that required surgery, a concussion during his junior season, and a concussion and elbow injury late in 2011. A three-time Academic All-Big Ten has a degree in finance and was accepted to five law schools, Rabinowitz adds. According to a league source, Sweat had signed a three-year contract with the Browns that included a $3,000 signing bonus. Source: Mac's Football Blog
He's not NFL talent, but couldve been a special teams hustle player maybe. Either way not a concern, but rod move on his part to just not show.
eh, if he gives back the $3,000 signing bonus, what's the big deal? he's just a kid and obviously he still hadn't decided whether he was going to law school or if he was going to give the NFL a shot. it's better than him taking a ST roster spot when his heart wasn't really in it, isn't it?
oh, ok. yes, i agree it wasn't very professional to just not show up and not even call, if that's what happened.
