.... 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.
Really good rep by Shemar Stewart setting the edge vs a split zone concept. Plays with a strong base, keeps his outside arm free and strains through the OT trying to club him upfield (preventing a seam in the B-gap).

Beautiful stuff. Eberflus will LOVE this. pic.twitter.com/hctubqJjvP
At 6'5 281lbs you expect his pass rush profile to start with power and he does not disappoint.
Bull Rushes attacks the wide arm then resets that hand knocking the tackle off balance.
Shemar Stewart: “I told No. 52 I was going to run through his face and then I ran through his face.”

Another Bull Rush gets low inside hands drives legs 340lb Jonah Savaiinaea on skates. He put alot of tackles on skates this season including LSU's Will Campbell.
Yeah.. probably seen enough Shemar Stewart to say that's a single digit name call on draft night. pic.twitter.com/BVqhN5Q17H

Here Stewart gets separation with punch then uses cross chop to beat the tackle inside. Lots of power in his hands.
We have a flash! Great pass rush rep here from TAMU EDGE Shemar Stewart. Accurate punches to swipe away the arms of the tackle and get the “sack.” #SeniorBowl pic.twitter.com/hUx57V6EMe

What makes him different is how he moves at that size.
Here he flashes power with his hands the dips his shoulder and flattens.
Texas A&M DE Shemar Stewart had a huge week at the #SeniorBowl

Before this week, I might’ve been concerned spending a 1st round pick on him with the lack of college production, but after this week, showcasing what he did on a big stage, I’d be fine spending a 1st as a GM. pic.twitter.com/DfuhlBGOyQ
Here he explodes up field and flattens.

Made that strip sack look way too easy pic.twitter.com/PQfhQfuEuE
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.
Long way of saying, "We hope he becomes something, but he wasn't much in college!"

Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
Sorry for Party Rocking!
