Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Has the combination of size and athleticism worthy of development.
  • Stewart has the kind of turn-and-run fluidity to be used in man coverage as well, able to run with tight ends and running backs.
  • He shows excellent awareness in coverage when dropping into zone.
  • He takes proper angles and shows impressive closing speed. He’s also outstanding in space and is one of the best coverage guys in this class.
  • Stewart plays bigger than his listed size, with the functional strength and motor to take on and hold ground against much bigger blockers.
  • Quick to read run, showing good agility and speed to get past blockers and finish. Experienced in coverage and gets a strong jam on outside receivers.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • As a pass rusher, Stewart needs the scheme to create deception and confusion to give him a free run.
  • He’s more of a grab-and-drag tackler who could stand to be more violent as a hitter.
  • Stewart doesn’t have much room on his frame to add weight, and he lacks the upper-body strength to be a stack-and-shed linebacker.
