Shemar Stewart is one of the top prospects in the NFL draft — with few stats to back it up

Texas A&M defensive end Shemar Stewart is considered one of the NFL Draft's most polarizing prospects because of his elite intangibles but lack of college production.

Texas A&M defensive end Shemar Stewart is 6-foot-5 and 267 pounds. He ran the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine in February in 4.59 seconds to go along with a 40-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot, 11-inch broad jump.

But he also had just 4.5 sacks in 37 career games for the Aggies.

It’s a glaring stat to consider when a major part of a defensive end’s job is to get to the quarterback — Penn State edge Abdul Carter, a consensus top-five pick, had 12 sacks last year alone.

And it's why NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah calls Stewart, a projected first-round pick in Thursday's draft, "easily the most polarizing edge rusher."

"He is the ultimate example of traits versus production," Jeremiah said on a conference call this week. "He has got all kinds of twitch, he’s explosive, he’s disruptive. He just hasn’t been able to finish, to compile sacks."
