I knew nothing about this guy. Great pick! Doesn't he seem like a cross between Verse and Young? He's got Young's burst, with more power, but not as big or strong as Verse. WOW! He led the nation in QB pressures! Gotta work on wrapping up thou.

In some ways Stewart is similar to Verse. But there's a difference. While he doesn't have Verse's speed, size, and power, he does have something that people have pointed out Verse doesn't. Verse isn't "bendy." I know people know what that is but just to get down in black and white: being "bendy" is a trait in most top outside pass rushers where they can get around blockers at full speed by adjusting their hips to glide past the tackle--it depends on getting low and changing direction very quickly without losing speed. Robert Quinn had that in spades--he could bend under the blocker's arms and turn the corner with full balance at full speed.

Verse is not a "bendy" pass rusher. He is all about speed, power, and aggressive tenacity. He has many ways of using his power but he is essentially a power rusher.

Stewart does have some speed and power, though not at Verse's level. He does have the same kind of ferocious tenacity, though on a smaller frame.

But all reports on Stewart say he is a "bendy" rusher. If that holds up it makes him a complement to Verse. The Rams will have Verse, Turner, Fiske, Young, and Stewart (and I think Paul can pass rush too, though more as an opportunistic and decisive blitzer type).

A few remarks from some pre-draft reports:

The Coastal Carolina transfer flashed his relentless motor and elite bend around the edge

He’s a decisive, linear rusher with the get-off and bend to win at the top of the rush

Able to bend hips and strike with good lift at point of attack.
