Sweezy going from Dallas project to contributor

Throughout his college career at New York Condition, J.R. Sweezy had coaches telling him he'd create a great offensive lineman despite the fact that he began around the defensive side.

One workout with Dallas offensive line guru Tom Cable just before the National football league draft in April was the initial step for making the change from defense to offense much more of a real possibility.

''I did not obtain that many anticipation. I did not have anything,'' Sweezy stated. ''I just stated I am going to enter it 100 mph, do anything they let me know to complete and that i guess that like it.''

Sweezy, who had been a seventh-round pick in April's draft, was said to be a lengthy-term project because he made the change from defensive tackle to offensive guard. The idea as he was selected around the final day's the draft was that Sweezy could be introduced along gradually throughout offseason workout routines because he learned the craft from the position.

Clearly, the Seahawks undervalued precisely how fast Sweezy might make the modification.

He's already began a set of preseason games - two days ago in Colorado and a week ago at Might. Sweezy might get another begin Thursday evening once the Seahawks close the preseason hosting Concord.

Sweezy has cheated beginning right guard John Moffitt missing time throughout training camping after needing elbow surgery. Moffitt came back to rehearse now and could play from the Raiders, but it is Sweezy that has ongoing to obtain use no. 1 offense.
