Stewart was rated as the No. 17 overall player and the No. 3 edge-rusher in the draft class by Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department. He played three collegiate seasons at Texas A&M where he recorded 65 total tackles and 4.5 sacks in his career.

The Bengals' first-round draft pick, Shemar Stewart, sat out of rookie camp and has yet to sign his contract. For now, that's not a great sign. When asked about the situation, Stewart kept it simple: he just didn't sign the papers.
