.... sometimes there's an exception to the rule.
Shemar Stewart has a high floor as the SEC's best run defending Defensive End. Here he is flashing that elite potential at the Senior Bowl setting the play side edge against a split zone run. Anchors against 336 lb Jonah Savaiinaea keeps his outside arm free to attempt the tackle.
Shemar Stewart is the prototype base 4-3 left defensive end. He will be a strong run defender that can use his easy power to collapse the pocket on the opposite of Trey Hendrickson. I specifically like Stewart for building a pass rush plan against a player like Lamar Jackson.
I liked Stewart when he had a 2nd RD Grade, but I assumed he'd soar during the pre-draft process. Less of a fan taking him at 16. I feel his strength will be setting the edge in the ground game. He could also move inside on "rush" packages.
