Shemar Stewart may not have had prolific sack production as a Texas A&M pass rusher, mustering just 1.5 sacks in each of his three college football seasons. The defensive lineman has already made history as an NFL draft prospect, however, thanks to some eye-popping measurables.
Stewart, 21, became just the fourth defensive lineman to ever weigh more than 260 pounds and log at least 40 inches in the vertical jump at the scouting combine this week, according to NFL Research. The others to achieve such a feat: fellow 2025 prospect Landon Jackson, former No. 1 overall draft pick Mario Williams (2006) and another former No. 1 overall pick in Myles Garrett (2017).
It turns out Stewart also shares some other physically freakish similarities with Garrett, as NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah noted:
| Prospect | Year | Height | Weight | Wingspan | Vertical | Broad Jump |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Myles Garrett | 2017 | 6-4 | 272 | 82 1/4" | 41" | 10' 8" |
Shemar Stewart | 2025 | 6-5 | 267 | 84 3/4" | 40" | 10' 11" |
The glaring difference between Stewart, who also clocked a sub-4.6-second time in the 40-yard dash at this year's combine, and Garrett as NFL prospects? Actual on-field results. As mentioned, Stewart finished his college career with just 4.5 sacks in three seasons, whereas Garrett came out of the same school -- Texas A&M -- with 32.5 sacks and seven forced fumbles over the course of three years.
According to Relative Athletic Score, which is a site that grades out NFL prospects' combine performances relative to other players at their respective position, both past and present, graded Stewart as 9.99 overall with 10 being the highest possible score. That ranks as the third-highest relative athletic score among 1,802 edge rusher prospects since 1987.
Shemar Stewart is a DE prospect in the 2025 draft class. He scored an unofficial 9.99 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 3 out of 1802 DE from 1987 to 2025.
