Overview
- Montez Sweat was voted No. 91 on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026, a list compiled from votes by NFL players and revealed on June 26.
- Last season Sweat recorded 10.0 sacks, 53 tackles, 13 tackles-for-loss, 18 QB hits and 53 pressures, making it his second double-digit sack campaign in three years.
- Bears coach Ben Johnson said earlier this month that Sweat “played at a very high level” and suggested the season may have been the best of his career.
- Coverage frames Sweat as a consistent, reliable edge rusher who stood out on a Bears defense that otherwise struggled to generate pressure.
- Sweat was acquired from the Washington Commanders on Oct. 31, 2023, made the Pro Bowl that season after leading two teams in sacks, and his Top 100 nod builds on that career momentum.
