The Cincinnati Bengals selected Texas A&M EDGE Shemar Stewart with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Shemar Stewart has many traits that should help him transition to the NFL and grow as a pro. He certainly looks the part, with impressive size, a good frame and long arms. He's also a good athlete and moves pretty well for his size.

The Cincinnati Bengals should listen to the words of Sonny LoSpecchio from the hit movie A Bronx Tale: "The saddest thing in life is wasted talent."  The franchise is armed with one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL in Joe Burrow and boasts arguably the top receiving duo in the league in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Texas A&M defensive lineman Shemar Stewart registered 4.5 sacks total over 37 college games. Despite that, he was the 17th overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2025 NFL Draft.
