The Atlanta Falcons, holding the 15th pick in the 2025 NFL draft, are likely to target a defensive standout. With a revamped defense under new coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, the team is eyeing prospects like Shemar Stewart from Texas A&M. Stewart, a highly athletic edge prospect, boasts a remarkable RAS score of 10, the highest ever for a defensive end in the metric's history.
At 6-foot-5 and 281 pounds, Stewart is praised for his run-stopping abilities and improving pass-rushing skills, evident from his 33 hurries in 2024. Projected as a top pick for the Falcons, he offers a promising blend of size and athleticism that could bolster Atlanta's defensive front. With the Falcons aiming to shore up their pass rush and run defense, Stewart's potential impact on both aspects makes him a strong candidate for the team's first-round selection.
