Josaiah Stewart’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Josaiah Stewart is an explosive and relentless edge rusher who thrives off creating disruption in the backfield. He possesses a quick first step and uses his speed and agility to challenge offensive tackles off the edge.
Stewart’s compact frame and strong leverage allow him to maintain balance while employing a variety of pass-rush moves around the apex.
He’s a high-energy player who excels in pursuit, demonstrating excellent closing speed and the ability to chase down plays from the backside. He needs to add strength in order to enhance his run-stopping ability, and his size could leave him stuck between roles in the NFL.
That said, in odd and hybrid-front schemes, Stewart has built-in effectiveness as a pass-rush specialist who can attack on later downs, and he brings value in run pursuit as well.
