Recently, it has been seen that the Steelers are considering picking Shemar Stewart, known to have freakier athletic traits than the Texas A&M edge defender in the NFL Draft 2025.
Despite his poor stats in college, they considered adding him to the team because of his outstanding physical traits that make him one of the strong prospects in the NFL.
Why Shemar Stewart Is a Perfect Fit for the Pittsburgh Steelers
As we already mentioned, the Steelers are showing interest in Stewart because of his physical capabilities.
Stewart is around 6’5″ and weighs around 281 pounds, which includes long arms and good athleticism on the field.
Despite his previous performance, which covered only 4.5 sacks in three seasons at Texas A&M.

His strength, tremendous speed, and ability to be versatile make him a rare prospect to pick.
Moreover, the Steelers are highly recognized for bringing out talented pass rushers, and Shemar Stewart can be one of them. That eventually helps them develop their defensive lineup.
As suggested, Stewart is also putting in effort to be better at pass rushing. He wants to be able to finish plays efficiently by completing tackles and sacks.
He knows these techniques are most important on the field to be a dominating edge rusher.
