The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, and so is your need to be prepared for all of tomorrow’s stars. Dive into our spotlight on Shemar Stewart, featuring his scouting report, strengths and weaknesses, his recent draft projection, and where all the experts predict he could land.
Shemar Stewart’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
An upside gamble in every sense of the word, Shemar Stewart has become one of the most polarizing prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. At 6’5″, 267 pounds, with over 34″ arms, he tested as the most athletic EDGE prospect ever, with a 4.59 40-yard dash, a 40″ vertical, and a 10’11” broad jump.
On the flip side, he never eclipsed 1.5 sacks in a single season at the collegiate level, and has startlingly low production rates as both a pass-rusher and run-stopper. The tape tells a story you might expect: Stewart has rare explosiveness, twitch, and energy for his size, and can channel his traits into awesome power, but he’s also very inconsistent and uncontrolled right now.
At the very least, he can play from different alignments and play contain, and at his max potential, his ceiling is as high as can be — but it also may take him at least a couple years to near that ceiling.
Shemar Stewart’s NFL Draft Projection
In CSN’s 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft from April 12, Stewart landed in Round 1 with the 12th pick to the Dallas Cowboys. James Fragoza has this to say:
Shemar Stewart cemented his first-round status with a 10’11” broad jump, a 40″ vertical, and a 4.59-second 40-yard dash at 6’5″ and 281 pounds—now that’s a freak.
Already an elite run defender who can command gaps for early playing time, Stewart’s obvious length, raw strength, and athleticism also hint at immense potential as a pass rusher—a prospect teams will be eager to bank on early.
Stewart’s profile was lifted immensely following a dominant NFL Combine showing.
