Is Shemar holding out?

rushing snaps. But Stewart should get a lot of early down snaps being our 1st round pick that is good at sealing the edge and as we all 
know teams also like to pass on early downs too so he could get quite a few sacks with his athleticism if he can just learn to wrap up the
Quarterback.

Expecting a lot of TFL in the run game for Shemar Stewart at the very least as a rookie. He will help, big time.

Stewart had all of...12 across 37 games in college.
I'm sure I'm being unfairly harsh to some degree, but the dude just never had it click in college after 3 seasons.
He got close but no cigar often. There's just HOPE that that eventually turns into actual production in the NFL.

This reminds me of when we touted Carl Lawson because he had a lot of pressures but few sacks.
According to PFF, Lawson was 4th in the league in pressures in 2020 with 64 of them, but he only ended up having 5.5 sacks.
Turns out, Lawson has now played 7 seasons in the league (missed 2021 due to injury) and has never had more sacks than the 8.5 he had as a rookie and is now relegated to a rotational player.
I can see Stewart following a similar path where he may get close on plays often but it may not really amount to much because it really needed to be a true TFL or sack to be a game-impacting play.
