Sign me UP for selecting WR ArDarious Stewart
His big gainers..
71, 52, 67, 45, 52, 67, 39, 31 all done in 2016 in different games with a true freshman Bama quarterback?
ArDarious Stewart could slide to the 3rd
#69 but the more I'm learning the more the early 3rd round would be a steal and GM's/Scouts are well aware of him.

Scouting Profile: Wide Receiver ArDarius Stewart
by Mike Tagliere 03/21/2017
ArDarius Stewart, Alabama
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 204 lbs.
Arms: 32 1/2”
Hands: 9 3/8”
Vertical: 34”
40-yard dash: 4.49 seconds
It was quite odd that when I started my research on Stewart, I found heights for him ranging anywhere from 5’11” to 6’1”, which is a pretty big gap when talking about a wide receiver. At the NFL Combine, he came in at almost exactly 5’11”, which was short considering he weighs 204 pounds. Most wouldn’t believe it, but his size comparison is Jarvis Landry.
Opposite of Landry, Stewart plays much bigger than his size, running over defenders who get in his way. He was used all over the field with Alabama, lining up outside, in the slot, and in the backfield plenty of times. There was even a play where they tossed him a lateral and had him drop back to pass, where he did not fail, completing a rocket to his tight end O.J. Howard. It made sense after finding out that he was a quarterback in high school.
If there’s one thing you should understand after watching Stewart, it’s that he’s a natural football player. All of his movements are fluid and his vision on the field is excellent. The fact that teams will be able to use him all over the field is a bonus, and one that should have him climbing up draft boards. He also seems to enjoy blocking, going through the whistle at certain times, finishing his blocking assignment.
His route running ability is solid, though nothing spectacular. His moves are fluid, though they are slow for a guy who is under six-feet tall. He more than makes up for that with his terrific hands and ability to run after the catch. In the open-field, Stewart is a force to be reckoned with. He isn’t the type to step out of bounds when he catches the ball, though if you’re the defender, you really wish he would. Stewart is a straight-up playmaker with the ball in his hands, and it’s something that will translate in the NFL.
The downside to Stewart is that he apparently comes with some baggage, as he was suspended by Alabama for “violating behavior rules,” per head coach Nick Saban. It’s unclear what he did exactly, but it’s likely a question that was presented to him at the NFL Combine. Hopefully this was a minor incident, because Stewart should be making an impact in the NFL, almost immediately.
Potential landing spot
He needs to get in with a team that will get creative in order to get him the ball. Think about the way the Bengals used to find ways to use Mohamed Sanu. Because of that,
Stewart would fit in with a coordinator like Sean McVay who is now the head coach of the Rams. But if you read my Chris Godwin profile, you’d know that I already think the Rams have their eyes on him. In a contingency, Stewart would make an excellent replacement. The next team on the list for me would be the Saints, or wherever Asshole Face is. The Steelers, Seahawks, and 49ers.
