Between that and him not testing agility at the combine, I have tempered my expectations.
The good news is that he's going to give more production on the left side than anyone gave us last year...because we got absolutely nothing.
Ossai had 5-6 sacks last year. I doubt Stewart matches that.
In terms of Parsons comparisons, remember, he was a LB at PSU, not a DE.
I hope Stewart blows up and is fantastic. But his football instincts seem poor. Hard working guys who still seem a bit lost worry me because I think a cause couid be they are not super sharp, despite trying hard. A great work ethic should translate into marked improvement with those physical attributes. This is not a Rudy type situation here.
He is still young. 21. He did line up narrow or inside a lot. He graded out well vs the run. He does seem well-liked by his teammates & coaches. Team first. No attitude issues or off field flags. There is good clay here. Even if he comes good, I do not expect a ton year 1. He has azways to go.
But I would have went with a more finished product with a higher floor. Who could help us more immediately. Zabel, Jackson, Starks, Emmanwori, Campbell, even Green or Watts or Johnson.
