Here is Shemar Stewart vs South Carolina though.

What stood out to me is how he can shoot a gap between two blockers and he's too fast for either of them to get in front of them and just getting a hand on him isn't enough to stop him.

Being on the end, that won't matter as much in the NFL since he'll be coming from the outside more, but double teams and stunts still could present him with he opportunities above.

Ok so I was watching both of the actual 11 on 11 and was like "why did he run past the QB both times?"  Then i realized they aren't allowed to hit them.  lol  Silly me.

It was a good job of him having the discipline to not light up the QB lol

He had the QB both times, I am sure he got cred for the sacks.

His main problem isn't situational awareness, which was obviously an assumption on your part, but keeping his head up on plays.  He has a tendency to concentrate on the player in front of him but keep his head down, beat him (every time) and THEN look up and then find the ball.  When he kept his head up from the beginning he still always beat his man and move be moving toward the play/ball.  On the ND tape he was about 50/50 head down vs. up.  When his head was up he was completely disruptive, blowing up plays and moving the QB out of the pocket.  Even on some of the head down plays he was disruptive.

They teach him to keep his head up 100% and he'll be a nightmare.

Was that the ND game he had 1 tackle?  I know that stats aren't everything, but really? The team doesn't get points because you beat your man.  Your game example of dominating his man is a game that 50% of the time, he didn't know where the ball was.  Athletic freaks should at least have a high share of tackles and assist for chasing plays down, but he has 2-3 tackles a game, combined.  I will admit I've only watched a couple games of tape.  It's hard to be excited for a player that rarely finishes.  He doesn't play a thankless position like NT or safety, where what they don't allow to happen is as important as where the play ends up.  I hope you're right and that Bengals can coach him to pay attention to where the ball is, and to improve hand usage, and to finish plays, and to force fumbles, and to bat down passes.  I really do.
