The upcoming NFL Draft is generating buzz around the Texas A&M Aggies, who have 11 players eligible for selection. However, only two are currently in the running for first-round consideration. Notably, Daniel Jeremiah from NFL.com projects linebacker Shemar Stewart to be picked by the Green Bay Packers at the 23rd overall spot. Jeremiah highlights the Packers' trend of selecting front-seven players from the SEC, emphasizing Stewart's impressive traits, despite his moderate sack production.
Stewart's college stats include 65 tackles, with 12 for loss and 4.5 sacks. His potential to join the Packers aligns with their recent strategy of recruiting SEC talent, especially on the defensive line. Last season, they chose Edgerrin Cooper, a Texas A&M linebacker who made a significant impact in his rookie year. Stewart's unique combination of size, speed, and length keeps him in the first-round discussion, showcasing the Aggies' strong representation in the draft.
