Jets Reportedly 'Keeping Close Tabs on' Shemar Stewart Ahead of 2025 NFL Draft

The New York Jets are "keeping close tabs on" Texas A&M edge-rusher Shemar Stewart leading up to the 2025 NFL draft, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini.

Per Cimini, the Jets previously met with Stewart at his pro day and have "stayed" in touch.

New York owns the No. 7 overall pick in the 2025 draft.

Stewart is an intriguing prospect, as he put together a stellar performance at the scouting combine in Indianapolis despite his relatively low sack total with the Aggies.

He recorded just 1.5 sacks in 12 games during his 2024 campaign and amassed 4.5 sacks in 37 games during his college career.

Still, Stewart's 40-yard dash time of 4.59 seconds ranked No. 3 among all defensive ends at the combine. He also posted an impressive 10'11" broad jump and 40" vertical leap.

Several members of the Jets' coaching staff also have ties to Texas A&M. Head coach Aaron Glenn played for the school during his college days, while defensive line coach Eric Washington served as a graduate assistant for the Aggies in 1997.

Stewart was ranked as the No. 3 edge-rusher and No. 19 overall prospect in the 2025 draft class on the latest big board from Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department.

If the Jets are looking to add another key defensive piece alongside Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, Stewart appears to be an option.
