POSITIVES

A four-year starter, Grover Stewart was a flashy, productive player at Albany State. He looks the part with a huge lower body, good length and impressive upper-body power. Stewart was productive, playing a ton of snaps, and notched 48.5 tackles for loss and 27 sacks in his four seasons. He has the length, power and hand use to attack blockers. He's a violent worker at the line of scrimmage. Stewart has enough power in his trunk to sit down and anchor against the run. He's versatile enough to move down the line but projects best as a nose tackle after being asked to play 5-technique in a 3-4 defense in college. 

NEGATIVES

Stewart played at a tiny college and hasn't seen NFL competition. Even on the all-star circuit, he was at the NFLPA game against fringe pro players. Stewart is a huge man who may struggle to move against quick offensive linemen. He plays too high and has to work on getting his pads down off the snap. He was bigger and stronger than most of his opponents and has few developed skills. Stewart's weight has been an issue in the past, according to scouts, and he must prove he can maintain it and handle the conditioning requirements of an NFL team.

PRO COMPARISON: John Jenkins, Chicago Bears
