Position Specific
Positives in Pass Game:
- Flashes soft hands and has shown ability to catch out of the backfield.
- Can turn checkdowns into positive yardage thanks to contact balance and tackle-breaking ability.
- Effective on screens when given space.
Negatives in Pass Game:
- Limited receiving production and route tree experience.
- Struggles in pass protection, with inconsistent technique and recognition when picking up blitzes.
- Needs development to become a true three-down back.
Positives in Run Game:
- Physical, bruising runner who excels at breaking tackles and creating yards after contact.
- Consistently falls forward, turning minimal gains into positive plays.
- Strong contact balance and lower-body power allow him to churn through defenders.
- Demonstrates patience and vision in zone schemes.

- Steps up in big games against top competition (e.g., Georgia Tech, Texas A&M).
Negatives in Run Game:

- Occasionally indecisive behind the line, “dances” instead of committing downhill.
The Wrap-up
Summary: Stewart is a compact, powerful runner with a bruising, downhill style that wears down defenses. He thrives on contact balance, leg drive, and the ability to create yards after initial hits, making him a nightmare for smaller defenders in the open field. Though not a burner, he has enough acceleration to generate explosive plays when he finds space.
Injury Concerns:
- Missed multiple games in 2021.
- Sat out the 2022 season.
- Injuries also cost him several games in 2023.
- Medical durability is a clear red flag for NFL evaluators.
Character/Off-Field Concerns: None noted.
Projected Role: Potential to develop into a lead runner in a power or zone-based rushing attack if he stays healthy and improves in pass protection.
Strong Points:
- Elite contact balance and tackle-breaking ability.
- Physical, downhill style with consistent year-over-year growth.
- Proven production against both MAC and Power Five opponents.
Weak Points:
- Durability and injury history.
- Limited experience as a receiver.
- Needs significant improvement in pass protection.
- Lacks elite top-end speed.
Exposures:
- @ Georgia Tech (2023)
- @ Texas A&M (2024)
- Vanderbilt (2025)
