Shemar Stewart To Visit With Falcons

3 weeks ago

Former Texas A&M edge rusher Shemar Stewart is scheduled to visit with the Atlanta Falcons, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The Falcons could certainly use help in the pass-rushing department, and Stewart is a projected top-10 pick in this year's NFL draft after an explosive performance at the NFL Combine at the end of February. The Falcons currently hold the No. 15 overall pick in the first round of the draft, so should Stewart slip slightly, he could be right in their range. Atlanta has already made several additions to the defensive side of the ball in free agency this week as well, adding edge rusher Leonard Floyd, cornerback Mike Hughes and linebacker Divine Deablo. According to Pro Football Focus, Stewart is their No. 26-ranked player in this year's draft class.
